ishay's optoelectronic sensor devices enable human
machine interaction, (HMI) keeping an eye on user input
and lighting conditions so that drivers can keep their eyes
on the road. Vishay's portfolio of optical sensors can easily be
connected to the central controller via the I

C interface.
Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) internal settings can
be adjusted, allowing sensitivity, measurement speed, driving
currents, and other parameters to be fine-tuned to the given
