Description

The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0D810Z0F is a self-contained infrared distance sensor module that employs the triangulation method for precise short-range measurement. It integrates an infrared emitting diode (IRED), a position-sensitive photodiode (PSD), and a dedicated signal processing circuit into a single, low-profile package. This design minimizes the impact of target object color, reflectivity, and ambient temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable digital output.

Engineered for energy-sensitive applications, the sensor operates from a wide 2.7V to 6.2V supply range, making it suitable for direct battery connection. Its digital output simplifies system design by providing a clean logic-level signal, eliminating the need for complex analog-to-digital conversion or external Vcc-line transistors for intermittent operation control.

Key Features

  • Digital Logic Output: Provides a direct high (Vout) or low (0V) signal based on object presence within the detection zone.
  • Triangulation-Based Sensing: Utilizes infrared triangulation for accurate distance measurement, reducing errors from object surface properties.
  • Ambient Light Resistance: Maintains stable operation even under bright sunlight or indoor lighting conditions.
  • Wide Operating Voltage: Supports 2.7V to 6.2V DC input, ideal for 3.3V and 5V logic systems and battery-powered devices.
  • Optimized Low-Current Design: Typical current draw of only 5 mA maximizes battery life in portable applications.
  • Integrated Signal Conditioning: Onboard processing circuit outputs a conditioned digital signal, ready for direct microcontroller input.
  • Surface-Mount Package: Compact 13.6 × 7 × 7.95 mm form factor is designed for automated PCB assembly and space-constrained designs.

Applications

  • Touchless switches for sanitary equipment, lighting control, and elevator panels.
  • Obstacle detection and cliff sensing for robotic vacuum cleaners and small mobile robots.
  • Proximity sensing in consumer electronics for power management and UI activation.
  • Object presence detection in automated dispensers, vending machines, and industrial equipment.
  • Paper detection and media sensing in printers, copiers, and other office automation devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type of the GP2Y0D810Z0F sensor?

The GP2Y0D810Z0F provides a digital output signal. It outputs a high voltage (approximately equal to the supply voltage, Vout) when an object is detected within its ~100mm range, and a low voltage (0V) when no object is present. This digital signal can be read directly by a microcontroller's digital input pin without requiring an ADC.

What is the recommended operating voltage and current draw?

The sensor operates from a wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 6.2V DC, making it compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems. Its typical current consumption is very low at 5 mA, which is ideal for battery-powered and portable applications to extend operational life.

How does this sensor handle different object colors and ambient light?

The sensor uses infrared triangulation, which inherently reduces the influence of an object's reflectivity and color compared to simple reflectance sensors. It also features built-in sunlight tolerance, meaning its integrated signal processing circuit helps maintain stable performance even under varying bright ambient light conditions.

Is any external circuitry required to interface this sensor with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

Minimal external components are needed. You can connect the sensor's VCC to your board's 3.3V or 5V pin, GND to ground, and the digital output pin directly to a digital input pin on your microcontroller. A pull-down resistor is typically not required as the sensor actively drives the output low. Always consult the official datasheet for the most accurate connection diagram.
