APDS-9960 Digital Proximity, Ambient Light, RGB and Gesture Sensor Data Sheet Description The APDS-9960 device Features advanced Gesture detection, Proximity detection, Digital Ambient Light Sense (ALS) and Color Sense (RGBC). The slim modular package, L 3.94 × W 2.36 × H 1.35 mm, incorporates an IR LED and factory calibrated LED driver for drop-in patibility with existing footprints. Gesture detection Gesture detection utilizes four directional photodiodes to sense reflected IR energy (sourced by the integrated LED) to convert physical motion information (i.e. velocity, direction and distance) to a digital information. The architecture of the gesture engine Features automatic activation (based on Proximity engine results), ambient light subtraction, cross-talk cancelation, dual 8-bit data converters, power saving inter-conversion delay, 32-dataset FIFO, and interrupt-driven I2C-bus munication. The gesture engine acmodates a wide range of mobile device gesturing requirements: simple UP-DOWN-RIGHT-LEFT gestures or more plex gestures can be accurately sensed. Power consumption and noise are minimized with adjustable IR LED timing. Description continued on next page...
