Through the use of prototyping tools like these, designers can test a given sensor's use case quickly without needing to design a PCB or write any software. By setting up a prototype, the various settings of a sensor can be directly tested, and any required fine-tuning is then reflected in the use case and depicted in the measurement result. These results often form the basis of more specific design discussions and ultimately allow for the best sensor and setup for a given use case to be found. These kinds of real-world tests can lead to a more accurate and reliable evaluation of a sensor for a given design than a simulation can provide. Prototyping can save hours of development time and provide a more intuitive understanding of a sensor's behavior. Vishay provides development kits that: • Offer easy-to-use and approachable plug-and-play solutions. • Are widely available and flexible, thanks to a broad and diverse product portfolio. • Come with sensor-specific application notes, providing customers with optical, electrical, and mechanical considerations. With a development kit, you get a plug-and-play device that allows you to see with your own eyes how a sensor behaves and responds to stimuli. Compared to an engineer reading an application note and seeing the graph, this is a very different thing. It wakes up creativity and gives you a more intuitive understanding of a device's performance. Samy Ahmed Senior Manager, Application Engineering, Vishay Semiconductors 17 | The Role of Prototyping in Sensor Integration "Industry is adapting quickly, and the product development portfolios of clients is accelerating. More than ever before, clients need special application sensors for quality, manufacturing, and compliance. The sensor industry has been putting its ears to the ground and developing solutions for all of these use cases." Shyam Sundar B T Lead Electrical Product Engineer, Hanon Systems
