Imec has developed hyperspectral sensor and camera technology with extended spectral range, going from the visible light (VIS) up to near infrared (NIR). The new line-scan VNIR (visible to ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a multi-spectral ambient light (plus UVA and near-IR) sensor, with flicker detection, in a package smaller than 1mm x 2mm. Applications are foreseen with phone ...

Vishay’s VEML6046X00 RGB IR sensor is AEC-Q100 qualified for use in vehicle displays and interior lighting. This compact device integrates a photodiode, low-noise amplifier, and 16-bit ADC in an ...

Today’s smartphones are incredible little machines—able to perform the function of ten gadgets within a single compact device. From professional-grade cameras and GPS navigation to automatic display ...

This week we got the chance to speak with Daniel Mar from Texas Instruments Product Marketing who showed off what TI notes is the TMP006, the world's smallest digital infrared temperature sensor. This ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...

STMicroelectronics is launching a human-presence and -motion detector to enhance security systems, home-automation equipment, and IoT devices that typically use passive infrared (PIR) sensing. The ...
