The Sharp Sensor is an infrared sensor used for distance measurement and object detection. It provides accurate readings by emitting infrared light and detecting the reflected signals, making it ideal for robotics, automation, and proximity sensing applications.
IR DISTANCE SHARP SENSOR
A Sharp Sensor refers to a type of infrared (IR) distance measuring sensor produced by Sharp Corporation. These sensors are widely used in robotics and embedded systems for precise distance measurement. Unlike traditional IR proximity sensors, Sharp sensors are more accurate in determining distances,
Specifications:
Operating voltage: 4.5 V to 5.5
V
Average current consumption: 12
mA (note: this sensor draws current in large, short bursts, and the
manufacturer recommends putting a 10 µF capacitor or larger across power
and ground close to the sensor to stabilize the power supply line)
Distance measuring range: 4 cm
to 30 cm (1.5″ to 12″)
Output type: analog voltage
Distance measuring sensor is
united with PSD,
infrared LED and signal processing circuit
