App note: Application of optical sensors – Reflective

The second type of optical sensor, here’s Vishay app note on how do they operate and their considerations when using one of these on your projects. These sensors integrate an infrared emitter and photo detector in a single package. The most common types of optical sensors are transmissive and reflective sensors. Both types detect the […]

App note: Application of optical sensors – Transmissive

Optical sensor basics and its considering factors of these type of contactless switches, learn more from Vishay’s app note on transmissive optical sensor. These sensors integrate an infrared emitter and photo detector in a single package. The most common types of optical sensors are transmissive and reflective sensors. Both types detect the presence of an […]
