Ks0269 keyestudio TMD27713 ALS Infrared LED Optical Proximity Detection Module

Introduction

It is a triple sensor integrated with ambient light,proximity sensor and infrared LED, which has two functions.
For one thing, it is used to detect the current ambient brightness (ALS). It can in accordance with the current ambient brightness automatically adjust the backlight brightness to conform to ambient light by the mean of software adjustment. This way can make backlight brightness soft to protect your vision and to achieve the effect of energy saving.
The reflection effect of IR ray emitted by the internal LED and the reception of the built-in PD of the sensor are used to determine whether the mobile phone is close to the human face during the call, thus determining the backlight state and the status of the touch screen button ON/OFF.
For another feature we are referred to as proximity sensor function (PROX). Sensor has been integrated transmitter/receiver and minimized the design. The part of structure is relatively simple.

Performance Parameters

• Working Voltage：DC 3.3V
• Detection Distance：100mm
• Communication Way：IIC communication
• Temperature Range：-30℃ to +85℃

Sample Code

Tests the proximity interrupt abilities of the APDS-9930.
Configures the APDS-9930 over I2C and waits for an external interrupt based on high or low proximity conditions. Move your hand near the sensor and watch the LED on pin 13.

• Hardware Connection:
  

IMPORTANT: The APDS-9930 can only accept 3.3V!

Arduino Pin	APDS-9930 Board	Function
3.3V	VCC	Power
GND	GND	Ground
A4	SDA	I2C Data
A5	SCL	I2C Clock
2	INT	Interrupt
13	-	LED
