GP2Y0A710K0F

The GP2Y0A710K0F from Sharp is a distance measuring sensor unit. This unit is composed of an integrated combination of PSD (position sensitive detector), IRED (infrared emitting diode) and signal processing circuit. The variety of the reflectivity of the object, environmental temperature and the operating duration are not influenced easily to the distance detection because of adopting the triangulation method. This device outputs the voltage corresponding to the distance detection. So this sensor can also be used as a proximity sensor. Typical applications include projector (for auto focus), robot cleaner, auto-switch for illumination, human body detector and amusement equipment.

• Long distance measuring range from 100cm to 550cm
• Analogue output type
• 58mm x 17.6mm x 22.5mm package size
• Current consumption is typically 30mA
• Supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V
• Output terminal voltage is 2.5V

Applications

Industrial, Consumer Electronics, Portable Devices, Sensing & Instrumentation, Medical, Robotics

Notes

In order to stabilize power supply line, recommended to insert a bypass capacitor of 10μF or more between VCC and GND. Use the power supply which can output 350mA or more to operate properly.
