APDS-9960 Gesture Sensor Module Digital RGB Light Sensor

Introduction The Gesture Sensor APDS 9960 is a digital RGB ambient light proximity and gesture sensor The sensor has an I2C compatible interface providing red green blue clear RGBC proximity and gesture sensing with IR LED The RGB and ambient light sensing feature detects light intensity under various lighting conditions and through various attenuation materials including darkened glass In addition the integrated UV IR blocking filter enables accurate ambient light and correlated color temperature sensing The proximity and gesture feature is factory trimmed and calibrated to 100mm proximity detection distance without requiring customer calibrations Gesture detection utilizes four directional photodiodes integrated with visible blocking filter to accurately sense simple UP DOWN RIGHT LEFT gestures or more complex gestures The addition of micro optics lenses within the module provides high efficient transmission and reception of infrared energy An internal state machine allows the device to be put into a low power state between RGBC proximity and gesture measurements providing very low power consumption Features RGBC Light Sensor Proximity and Gesture Detector with IR LED in an Optical ModuleI2C Interface Compatible with Dedicated Interrupt PinHigh Sensitivity Enabling Operation Behind Darkened GlassRGBC Light Sensing with Integrated UV IR Block FilterGeometrically Arranged RGBC Photodiodes Providing Uniform Angular ResponseCalibrated to 100mm Detection Di
