High Accuracy Ambient Light Sensor With I2C Interface
DESCRIPTION
VEML6030 is a high accuracy ambient light digital 16-bit
resolution sensor in a miniature transparent 2 mm x 2 mm
package. It includes a high sensitive photodiode, a low
noise amplifier, a 16-bit A/D converter and supports an
easy to use I2C bus communication interface and additional
interrupt feature.
The ambient light result is as digital value available.
APPLICATIONS
• Ambient light sensor for mobile devices (e.g. smart
phones, touch phones, PDA, GPS) for backlight dimming
• Ambient light sensor for industrial on- / off-lighting
operation
• Optical switch for consumer, computing, and industrial
devices and displays
FEATURES
• Package type: surface-mount
• Dimensions (L x W x H in mm): 2 x 2 x 0.87
