Abstract: A control system for a gesture sensing arrangement with at least one sensor operates the sensor in a proximity mode. The control system receives data sets generated by the sensor and based on these data sets determines whether an object is present in a vicinity of the sensor. When an object is detected in the vicinity the control system operates the sensor in a gesture mode. Based on further data generated by the sensor the control system determines an end of a gesture, and operates the sensor in the proximity mode.

Abstract: An optical sensor arrangement (10) comprises a light sensor (11) that is connected to a summation node (13) and is designed for generating a sensor current (S2), a current source (S2) connected to the summation node (13) and designed to provide a source current (S3), and an integrator (21) that is coupled to the summation node (13) and is designed for generating a first value (VP1) of an integrator signal (S6) by integrating during a first phase (P1) and for generating a second value (VP2) of the integrator signal (S6) by integrating during a second phase (P2). The optical sensor arrangement (10) comprises a sum and hold circuit (31) that is coupled to the integrator (21) and is designed to generate an analog output signal (S7) as a function of a difference of the first value (VP1) and the second value (VP2) of the integrator signal (S6).

Abstract: An optical driver arrangement (10) comprises a comparator (11) and a pulse generator (15). The comparator (11) comprises a first input (12) for receiving a sensed output signal (S1) derived from a sensor signal (S2) generated by a light sensor (24), a second input (13) for receiving a reference signal (S3) and a comparator output (14) for providing a comparator signal (S4). The pulse generator (15) comprises a control input (16) coupled to the comparator output (14) and a generator output (22) for providing a driver signal (S5) to a light source (21). The driver signal (S4) comprises a series of at least one pulse and a parameter of the driver signal (S4) is controlled by the comparator signal (S4).
