DESCRIPTION

The VCNT2030 is a reflective sensor in a miniature SMD

package. It has a compact construction where the emitting

light source and the detector are arranged in the same

plane. The emitter uses a vertical cavity surface emitting

laser (VCSEL) chip technology with high radiant intensity,

high optical power, and high speed. The operating infrared

wavelength is 940 nm. The detector consists of a silicon

phototransistor. The sensor’s analog output signal at the

phototransistor is dependant on the amount of the light

emitted by the VCSEL and reflected of an object in the

sensor’s field of view.
