Vishay Intertechnology has broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with RGBC-IR sensors for applications such as automatic white balancing and colour cast correction in digital cameras; automatic LCD backlight adjustment; and active monitoring of LED colour output for IoT and smart lighting.

The Optoelectronics Group of Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two fully integrated proximity sensors designed to increase efficiency and performance in consumer and industrial applications. They feature an IR emitter and a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL).

A high precision position sensor that offers more robust performance than existing absolute encoders and better resolution and accuracy than traditional Hall effect sensors for industrial robotics and other demanding applications has been released by Vishay Intertechnology.

A series of infra-red (IR) sensor modules in five compact package types has been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology. Featuring a fast 300μs reaction time, Vishay Semiconductors TSSP9xxx AGC 0 devices deliver long range presence and proximity sensing up to 2m, and a range up to 30m for light curtain and perimeter guard applications.

A proximity sensor that offers a sensing distance of up to 30cm has been released by the Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology. Combining an IR emitter, photo detectors for proximity, amplifiers, and ADC circuitry into a single package, the Vishay Semiconductors VCNL3040 features a programmable interrupt function.

The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology has launched an ambient light sensor for small form factor applications such as smart watches and sport bands where very high sensitivity is needed to allow light to be sensed through an often very dark cover glass.

A ceramic mid-power ultraviolet (UVC) emitting diode for sterilisation, sanitation, and purification applications has been released by Vishay Intertechnology. Featuring a quartz window, the Vishay Semiconductors VLMU35CM..-280-120 delivers an extremely long lifetime in a compact 3.5mm by 3.5mm by 1.2mm surface-mount package.

A fully integrated proximity sensor that combines a high power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), a photodiode, a signal processing IC, and a 12-bit ADC in a single package has been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology. The VCNL36687S is designed to be used in smartphones, tablets, virtual reality / augmented reality (VR / AR) headsets, and other battery-operated devices.

Rectilinear and rotational industrial potentiometer membrane displacement sensors designed to deliver reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions have been announced by Vishay Intertechnology. Waterproof and ultra-flat, the Vishay MCB UIPMA and UIPMC provide high durability and repeatability for a wide range of applications.

Free-filament wire strain gauges and ceramic cements, expressly designed for extreme high-temperature environments are now available globally from the Micro-Measurements brand of Vishay Precision Group.  The new free-filament wire strain gauges allow for high-reliability measurements of both dynamic and limited-static strain, at much higher temperatures than have been traditionally possible with conventional bonded strain gauge designs.
