Maxic launched a fully integrated ultra-low power optical proximity sensor

Based on the rich development experience in analog and analog-digital hybrid field, the developed low power process algorithm and the analog-digital hybrid noise reduction technology, Maxic launched a highly integrated ultra-low power optical proximity sensor, MT3101. It has excellent sensing performance and ultra-low power consumption, solves the universal problems, such as low sensitivity and lower transmission speed and so on, effectively reduces the false triggering frequency and improves the in-ear detection efficiency. Available in small size package, MT3101 brings a new experience for wearable products such as TWS earphones.

MT3101 typical application circuit

• Ultra-low power consumption with power management function

The trend of compact wearable devices and their battery capacity all place strict requirements on the energy-saving performance of proximity sensors. By maintaining the outstanding design of ultra-low power consumption, the power consumptions at normal operating mode and standby mode are decreases to smaller than 15µA(normal operating mode) and 1µA. At the same time, MT3101 features power management function, it can automatically power on and off the earphone according to its wearing status.

MT3101 is a small size, highly programmable, low power consumption proximity sensor that features excellent sensing performance, crosstalk immunity ambient light suppression, and low false triggering rate. It is applicable to TWS earphones, wearable devices, such as smartphones, smartwatch, etc., as well as furniture and household appliances, such as floor-cleaning robots.
