On May 14, 2015, WPG Holdings, a leading semiconductor component distributor dedicated to the Asia-Pacific market, announced that its subsidiary Quan Ding is promoting Lingyao Technology's highly integrated sensor, CM36686. The sensor not only integrates a proximity sensor (PS) and an ambient light sensor (ALS), but also packages a high-power IrLED together.
CM36686 uses Capella's patented Filtron™ technology to achieve spectral sensitivity that is closest to the human eye's response to ambient light, and provides the best background light elimination capability (including sunlight), and is equipped with temperature compensation capability to maintain stable output at different temperatures. Both ALS and PS functions can be operated through a simple I2C command format (SMBus compatible). The operating voltage range is 2.5 V to 3.6 V. CM36686 is packaged in a lead-free 8-pin package, which provides the best reliability that has been verified in the market.
