Introduction
The SFH 7773 combines a digital ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor (emitter + detector) within one package. Additionally the sensor provides an I2C-bus interface and an interrupt pin to connect it to an e.g. microcontroller.
This application note describes the basic technical features and the components operation, allowing the user to achieve the full functionality of the sensor. At the end a simple software code illustrates an example for the implementation of the SFH 7773 into a mobile phone environment.
