All of the application benefits tie back to the VCSEL as the emitter. The maximum sensing range using a mirror is four times greater than the VCNT2025X01 and seven times greater than the VCNT2020. Because it has a ±11^o emission angle, the window diameter can be half the size. Finally, the mechanical placement of the VCNT2030 behind the cover or window is between 0 and 2 mm, more flexible from a manufacturing standpoint.
