Accurately sense proximity using the VCNL36828P with a detection range of up to 200 millimeters for object detection and presence awareness into your projects
Proximity 20 Click is a compact add-on board designed for short-range proximity sensing applications up to 200mm. This board features two high-performance VCNL36828P proximity sensors from Vishay Semiconductor, making it ideal for a wide range of applications in consumer electronics.
KEY FEATURES:
- Click Snap: A feature of our standardized Click add-on boards, designed to help you reduce size, weight, and power consumption for final phase prototyping
- Short-range proximity sensing (up to 200mm): Detects the presence or absence of objects within a 200mm range, ideal for gesture recognition and object avoidance applications
- 940nm VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser): Sensor uses an invisible 940nm wavelength, eliminating the red glow commonly associated with traditional proximity sensors and enhancing user experience
- Intelligent cancellation technology: Minimizes crosstalk ensuring accurate readings even in environments with multiple devices
- Smart persistence scheme: Reduces the measurement response time, enabling faster detection and reaction to approaching objects
- I2C communication: Uses a standard I2C interface for easy communication and configuration with the host MCU
APPLICATIONS:
- Enables detection of hand movements or gestures in close proximity, perfect for touchless control interfaces or interactive devices
- Identify the presence or absence of objects within a specific range, useful for applications like product dispensers or automatic doors
- Integrates into various consumer electronics for features like proximity wake-up or gesture control

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™
Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click boards to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click boards to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click boards nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.
ABOUT MIKROE
MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more then million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1600+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
