TIDA-00754

Smart lighting & backlight control by ambient light & noise-immune proximity sensor reference design

TIDA-00754

Design files

Overview

This reference design demonstrates a proximity sensor implementation for HMI applications. The design can be used for backlight control that dynamically adjusts LCD backlight brightness relative to environment ambient light levels. A capacitive proximity sensor saves power and increases LCD backlight life by waking up the system from sleep or standby mode when a person approaches.

Features
  • Demonstrates EMI-resistant proximity detection using copper PCB material
  • Excellent human-eye spectral response matching a strong IR rejection (<1%)
  • Dynamically adjusts backlight brightness on a logarithmic scale based on how the human eye perceives brightness
  • Integrated UV filter enables good performance for outdoor applications
