Abstract
The present invention provides a proximity sensing device, which comprises an ambient light calibration digital-to-analog converter and at least one crosstalk calibration digital-to-analog converters. The proximity sensing device is able to quickly generate calibration parameters for the interference caused by the ambient list and crosstalk caused by different reflection, to calibrate the sensed signals to avoid wrong judgments.
Claims8
A proximity sensing device, comprising:
- a control module;
- a light-emitting module comprises a light-emitting element and a driver, the driver is coupled to the light-emitting element and the control module, the driver is driven by the control module to drive the light-emitting element to emit a detection light;
- a light receiving module configured to receive and covert an external light to a light sensing signal;
- an analog front-end module (AFE) coupled to the light receiving module through a first switch unit (SW1) to receive and convert the light sensing signal to an analog signal;
- an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the analog front-end module and the control module through a fifth switch unit (SW5) to receive and convert the analog signal to an operation signal to the control module;
- a one cycle clock base analog-to-digital converter coupled to the analog front-end module and the control module through a sixth switch unit (SW6) to receive and convert the analog signal to a calibration signal to the control module;
- and
- an ambient light calibration digital-to-analog converter coupled to the light receiving module and the control module through a second switch unit (SW2), wherein
- the control module controls the first switch unit, the second switch unit, the fifth switch unit and the sixth switch unit to switch to close or open;
- the proximity sensing device enters an operation mode when the fifth switch unit is switched to close and the sixth switch unit is switched to open;
- and
- the proximity sensing device enters a calibration mode when the fifth switch unit is switched to open and the sixth switch unit is switched to close.
