OSRAM – SFH 7770 E6 a two-in-one digital solution with gesture recognition function

The SFH 7770 E6 from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors combines the functions of a digital ambient light sensor with those of a digital proximity sensor. It determines the ambient brightness, detects the presence of an object nearby and can even tell whether the object is moving closer or moving further away. By using 2 or 3 IR LEDs instead of one, it is even possible to detect gestures.

Small CHIPLED packag

I²C bus interface: 100 kbit/s; 400 kbit/s; 1.0 Mbit/s and 3.4 Mbit/s
Measurement modes programmable (STAND-BY, TRIGGERED, FREE-RUNNING)

Ambient Light Sensor:

Closely matches the sensitivity of the human eye
High accuracy from 0.03 – 65,000 lx
Low temperature coefficient of photosensitivity
Insensitivity to 50-60 Hz flickering
Excellent linearity

Proximity Sensor:

Standard detection range up to 200 mm, extendable through external driver
Gesture recognition function
