[ClickPress, Tue Apr 22 2008] Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it is now stocking the APDS-9700 miniature single-chip signal conditioning IC from Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial, and consumer applications.

The APDS-9700 enhances the performance and robustness of optical sensors used for proximity or object detection in consumer and industrial applications. When used with optical proximity sensors, the IC provides accurate and robust detection of objects in ambient light and sunlight conditions and will allow design engineers to package more functionality into those applications where printed circuit board space is limited. As a result, the APDS-9700 will provide designers with a total solution that offers ease of implementation and cost savings.

Packaged in an eight-pin QFN package measuring 0.55mm x 2mm x 2mm, the IC combines the functionality of signal conditioning for proximity sensing into a single chip to reduce the number of required components. The APDS-9700 includes an LED driver circuit, artificial light immunity, sunlight cancellation, and a built-in LED stuck high protection circuit to enable operation in artificial or sunlight conditions.

The signal conditioning IC is ideal for use in devices including PDAs, mobile phones, handheld games, and laptop computers, as well as vending machines, industrial automation equipment, contactless switches, and sanitary automation devices.

"One of Mouser's core competencies is in working with our suppliers to ensure we have available inventory of their newest products for our engineering customers' immediate design needs,” said Mike Scott, Mouser's Vice President of Active Products. Avago's new APDS-9700 signal conditioning IC gives engineers a solution to problems associated with optical sensing applications in varying ambient light environments."

Known for its broad-based product line, unsurpassed customer service, and streamlined warehouse operations, Mouser continuously offers customers the most innovative products and latest technologies for their new design projects.
