APPLICATION INFORMATION
VCNL4010 is a cost effective solution of proximity and ambient light sensor with I
2
C bus interface. The standard serial digital
interface is easy to access “Proximity Signal” and “Light Intensity” without complex calculation and programming by external
controller. Beside the digital output also a flexible programmable interrupt pin is available.

Notes
• The interrupt pin is an open drain output. The needed pull-up resistor may be connected to the same supply voltage as the application
controller and the pull-up resistors at SDA/SCL. Proposed value R2 should be >1 kΩ , e.g. 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ.
Proposed value for R3 and R4, e.g. 2.2 kΩ to 4.7 kΩ, depend also on the I
2
C bus speed.
For detailed description about set-up and use of the interrupt as well as more application related information see AN: “Designing VCNL4010
into an Application”.
• IR_Cathode needs no external connection. The needed connection to the driver is done internally.
