Si114X DESIGNER’S GUIDE
1. Introduction
This application note provides an outline for using the Si114x proximity detector and ambient-light sensor. General
considerations of electrical and optical component selection, programming, and power consumption are explained
so as to cover the majority of situations. Specific topics are discussed elsewhere:
AN521: IRLED Selection Guide for Si114x Proximity Applications
AN522: Using the Si1141 for Touchless Lavatory Appliances
AN523: Overlay Considerations for the Si114x Sensor
AN540: Hair Immune Cheek Detection in SmartPhones Using the Si1141 Infrared Sensor

2. Optical Considerations toward Mechanical Design
This section focuses on mechanical and industrial design considerations.
2.1. Topology
Figure 1 highlights and defines the various system topologies.
