Sensors
Fully-calibrated, low-power
intelligent sensing solutions
High precision optical sensor family senses UV
Index, ambient light, long range proximity, heart rate/
pulse oximetry and motion with 2D or 3D gestures.
Si1132 Ultraviolet (UV) Index and Ambient Light Sensor
The monolithic Si1132 sensor integrates multiple photodiodes, an analog-to-digital
converter, a signal processor and a digital I
2
C control interface. This UV Index and ambient
light sensor enables fitness wrist/arm bands, smart watches, and smartphones to measure
UV sun exposure. Customers benefit by receiving a warning of when their current UV
exposure is at an unhealthy level or to determine their cumulative UV exposure during
exercise.
Si114x Multi-LED Heart Rate, SpO2, Proximity and Ambient Light
The monolithic Si114x sensors integrate high sensitivity photodiodes, a low-noise
analog-to-digital converter, analog filtering, up to 3-LED drivers and a digital I
2
C
control interface into one package. Broad spectral sensitivity supports green through
940nm LEDs for wrist, ear, and finger-tip heart rate/SpO2 signals. This low-power
sensing family enables long battery life with standby less than 500 nA and a short
25.6µs LED on time.

It’s not only about connecting devices. It���s about improving our
way of life. The way we do business, and the impact we have on
our environment. It’s called the Internet of Things, and it’s going
to change everything.
Full system-level solutions
In addition to highly integrated sensor products, Silicon Labs offers software and source code for a variety of applications,
along with full hardware and software reference designs.
Easy design-in and production ramp
All of Silicon Labs’ sensor products are compatible with SMT pick-and-place and reflow assembly processes. The full factory
calibration and minimal amount of external bill of materials keeps costs low.
High performance and flexibility
High performance sensor elements, combined with patented analog front end circuit design enables high sensitivity and wide
accuracy ranges. Multiple package options provide flexibility depending on the application requirements.
