TCND3000 Vishay Semiconductors
Reflective Sensor for Touchless Switch
Description TCND3000 is a reflective optical sensor for applica- tions using the HALIOS® (High Ambient Light Inde- pendent Optical System) principle. It consists of an infrared emitter and a photodetector forming the opti- cal sensing path. According to the HALIOS principle a second infrared emitter is used for compensation of disturbing ambient light. Optoelectronic parameters of the sensor are matched to the corresponding inte- grated circuit E909.01, manufactured by ELMOS Semiconductor AG (www.elmos.de).
