VEML6030 Ambient Light Sensor

Vishay Semiconductor introduces a high-accuracy digital ambient light sensor for consumer and industrial applications. The VEML6030 combines a highly sensitive photo-diode, low-noise amplifier, and 16-bit ADC in a miniature, transparent, surface-mount package measuring only 2 mm x 2 mm x 0.85 mm. The sensor adopts Filtron technology and features an interrupt function, while supporting an I²C bus interface for simple operation.

  • Filtron technology enables ambient light spectral sensitivity close to that of the human eye
  • O-Trim technology enables output tolerance of ≤ 10 %
  • Resolution down to 0.005 lx/ct allows for operation in applications with low-transmittance (dark) lens designs
  • As part of smart home lighting control systems, provides accurate and current analysis of ambient lighting to give precise control even during unexpected situations, like fast-moving storms
  • Detects fading natural light and can detect the sun rising in the morning to control light levels
