The data sheets I was comparing were from https://datasheet4u.com/datasheets/Sensortek/STK3310/836592 https://jlcpcb.com/partdetail/SENSORTEK-STK36C61A/C49230205 which were the first links that appeared to me on an online search. > > Just to chime in, the datasheet I have access to (STK36C61-A Preliminary > Datasheet Version - 0.9.2) there are a few changes compared with the one > from LCSC but nothing too interesting: > > * On the overview page LED current 228.75 changed to 218.75 mA > * ALSCTRL1 register (0x02) has different values for BIT[6:4] > (17.92 -> 143.36; 8.96 -> 35.84; 4.48 -> 8.96) > * PDT_ID is indeed 0x95 - maybe the previous version just had wrong > copy-pasted info? > Hmm, I was initially thinking about the added STK3310_PROXIMITY_CHANNEL for stk36c61. If STK36C61 has ambient light sensing (similar to STK3310 light sensing read from registers 0x13 and 0x14) then it makes sense to have that channel for STK36C61 too. Otherwise, that specific ambient light channel shouldn't belong to stk36c61_channels. I didn't find a data sheet for the part with PDT_ID 0x95, though, that sounds like another thing to tidy up. Update the naming from STK36C61 to STK36C61A. So, if STK36C61 (without the A) is ever added, there will be no naming conflict. Unless STK36C61 is never going to be released (which doesn't seem to be the case cause I can find a data sheet for that). With best regards, Marcelo
