NOA1305
Ambient Light Sensor with
I
2
C Interface and Dark
Current Compensation
Description
The NOA1305 ambient light sensor (ALS) is designed for handheld
applications and integrates a 16−bit ADC, a 2−wire I
2
C digital
interface, internal clock oscillator and a power down mode. The built
in dynamic dark current compensation and precision calibration
capability coupled with excellent IR and 50/60 Hz flicker rejection
enables highly accurate measurements from very low light levels to
full sunlight. The device can support simple count equals lux readings
in interrupt−driven or polling modes. The NOA1305 employs proprietary
CMOS image sensing technology from ON Semiconductor to provide
large signal to noise ratio (SNR) and wide dynamic range (DR) over
the entire operating temperature range. The optical filter used with this
chip provides a light response similar to that of the human eye.
