It has a range of about 4 -12cm (depending on the type of reflective surface), and will not respond at all to matt black. Response time is around 10mS, and a small amount of hysteresis (about 1cm) is included to avoid 'chattering' at limit range Vertical and horizontal axis of 'sight' versions will be available. 28th May 2009 Features ! ! ! ! Figure 1: IRPS Up to 12cm range Simple interface (2.7 - 3.6V at 7mA nominal, cmos output). Low current consumption: 6mA average (20mA peak) 0.5mA (reset) Small size: 22 x 17 x 13 mm Applications ! ! ! !

Pin 1 (OBJ) is a cmos logic output 2. Pin 3 (n_RST) has a 100K pullup to Vcc 3. An optional light emitting diode (low current, 1206 package) can be fitted on the PCB When fitted, it is connected between Pin 4 (LED) and GND 4. The module pinout fits on a 0.1" pitch matrix 5.
