EBV presents: Force sensing solutions from Vishay
Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Vishay) is one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers with over 30 years of experience in the field of optoelectronics, especially in optical sensing. Their extraordinarily broad optoelectronics portfolio includes IR receivers, IR emitters, IrDA transceivers, optocouplers, optical sensors, photodetectors and far more.
However, the scope of this article is Vishay's VCNL series of integrated Proximity-Sensing (PS) and Ambient Light-Sensing (ALS) solutions and their implementation into a robust force-sensing Human-Machine Interface (HMI) application with haptic feedback.
Why choose Vishay's VCNL series of automotive-qualified (AEC-Q101) integrated PS and ALS solutions?

Additional info
The VCNL series includes an ASIC with a feature-rich DSP section, allowing seamless operation when used with haptic actuators. The integrated DSP offers functions such as proximity cancellation, internal averaging, threshold-driven interrupts, selectable measurement rate and more.
Providing developers with tools to easily implement haptic feedback and perform precise system calibration even on low-cost and low-end MCU processing platforms.
Combined with a haptic feedback actuator, the VCNL series can be used to develop HMIs with high reliability, consume less power, last longer and providing satisfying tactile feedback during operation.
As part of their comprehensive support for the VCNL series, Vishay also offers a stand-alone force-sensing demonstrator based on the VCNL4030X01 sensor. The demonstrator can be used as a proof of concept and a reference for custom designs.
