Flash Vs. Scan
A LiDAR system can observe the complete field of view (FOV) at once, called Flash systems. Flash typically works well for short to mid-range (0-100m), and by capturing the complete scene at once also objects with high relative speeds can be detected properly. Another implementation is to focus on a subset of the FOV, consequentially look at the next subsets, until the complete FOV is covered, called Scanning. Scanning can focus the light on the subset instead of the full FOV, and therefore can do object detection at a longer range compared to Flash.

Linear Position
The linear magnetic position sensor product family measures the linear movement of a multi-pole magnetic strip. Circular multi-pole magnetic rings can also be used in rotary incremental rotation off-axis applications. This high precision product family allows the user to detect linear movement with a resolution as fine as 0.5μm. All products are aimed at applications which require extreme precision, accuracy, dynamic range and ultra-low power consumption.

LIDAR & Direct Time of Flight
LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a sensor technology for remote object detection and ranging, using a light source and receiver. Emitted light pulses hit objects, reflect, and return to the LiDAR sensor system where the receiver detects the returning light pulse.

Color Sensor
The color sensor product family includes both RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and high-accuracy XYZ light sensors for precise color measurement, determination, and discrimination. XYZ sensors are capable of providing xy chromaticity co-ordinates in accordance with the CIE 1931 color map. The ams color sensors include filters to block unwanted IR light in the visible spectral range, enabling highly accurate color measurement. Their high sensitivity coupled with their wide dynamic range make them well suited to continuous color temperature measurement of ambient light in display management systems, and automatic-white-balance assistance in camera applications. Some products have additional IR channels to assist with IR light source identification.

Proximity
Proximity detection sensors measure reflected infrared (IR) energy to detect the presence of an object or person. The devices include an integrated LED driver and, in some devices, an integrated LED. The proximity detection devices provide four programmable LED drive currents and IR pulse repetitions. The proximity detection circuitry compensates for ambient light, allowing it to operate in environments ranging from bright sunlight to dark rooms. The wide dynamic range allows operation in short-distance detection applications behind dark glass, such as mobile phones. Proximity detection sensors can be used to replace a mechanical switch or to sense human gestures.

Spectral Sensing
The ams multi-spectral sensing family includes a broad array of spectral sensing devices providing between 6 and 18 channels in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. All products feature CMOS interference filters and benefit from innovative factory calibration to deliver precise spectral characteristics over their lifetime. Most include direct LED drivers to synchronize and control light sources for efficient digital shutter operations.

Supervisors
ams supervisors offer high accuracy and low power consumption. In battery-powered systems in particular, the supply must be monitored in order to perform safe start-up and shut-down operations. For multi-supply applications, power monitoring is essential for safe operation. The ams portfolio of supervisory products provides a comprehensive choice of functions including watchdog, manual reset, and dual, triple and quad voltage supervisors.
