Abstract
An optoelectronic apparatus is provided that has at least one optoelectronic transmitter and at least one optoelectronic receiver. The optoelectronic apparatus furthermore has a storage device having at least one non-volatile memory that is adapted to store an individual data set. A data interface is furthermore provided that is adapted to at least partly read the individual data set out of the non-volatile memory of the storage device.
Claims17
An optoelectronic apparatus, comprising:
- at least one optoelectronic transmitter and at least one optoelectronic receiver;
- a storage device having at least one non-volatile memory that is adapted to store an individual data set;
- and
- a data interface that allows an access to the non-volatile memory.
A method of manufacturing an optoelectronic apparatus, the method comprising:
- providing at least one optoelectronic transmitter and at least one optoelectronic receiver;
- providing a storage device having at least one non-volatile memory that is adapted to store an individual data set;
- providing a data interface that allows an access to the non-volatile memory;
- determining at least one of a spectral sensitivity characteristic, a distance-dependent sensitivity characteristic and an angle-dependent sensitivity characteristic of the optoelectronic apparatus;
- and
- writing an individual data set to the non-volatile memory of the storage device, the individual data set representing the determined sensitivity characteristic.
An optoelectronic sensor apparatus, comprising:
- at least one optoelectronic transmitter and at least one optoelectronic receiver;
- a storage device having at least one non-volatile memory that is adapted to store an individual data set;
- a data interface that allows an access to the non-volatile memory;
- and
- an application-specific integrated circuit, with the storage device being connected to the application-specific integrated circuit or being integrated into the application-specific integrated circuit,
- wherein the application-specific integrated circuit is adapted to process and to output received signals of the optoelectronic receiver, and
- wherein the individual data set represents a at least one of:
- a spectral sensitivity characteristic of the optoelectronic apparatus, a distance-dependent sensitivity characteristic of the optoelectronic apparatus, and an angle-dependent sensitivity characteristic of the optoelectronic apparatus, with the application-specific integrated circuit further being adapted to read and output the individual data set or parts thereof out of the non-volatile memory but not being adapted to process the received signals of the optoelectronic receivers in dependence on the individual data set.
