Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

The TMD2671 is a digital proximity detector that includes an integrated LED driver and IR LED.The proximity detector in this device operates from sunlight to dark rooms and is calibrated to 100-mm.The ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

The sensitivity of the proximity sensor circuit can be adjusted with P1 for the desired “distance”. One of its obvious uses is to open a door automatically. For this the sensor must be placed on the ...

Vishay Semiconductors has created an interesting reflectance proximity detector (VCNL4000) that includes an infrared (IR) LED and a photodetector. A second sensor in the same package measures ambient ...

This IR proximity detector circuit gives an audible indication when any object comes in front of the infrared reflecting sensor (containing IR LED and phototransistor). The sound generated by the ...

In 1958—exactly 50 years ago—the proximity switch was invented in a Mannheim laboratory owned by Pepperl+Fuchs. What was originally conceived as a customer-specific solution for an intrinsically safe ...

Abstract: High-Power Microwave (HPM) is an emerging technology formed by the development of electrotechnology, traditional microwave, plasma physics, and other related fields, which has very important ...
