Description
Avago Technologies' APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 is a low-
voltage Digital Ambient Light Sensor that converts light
intensity to digital signal output with I
2
C interface. It consists
of photodiode, ADC, oscillator and power-on reset to ensure
consistent start-up. ADCs convert the photodiode currents
to a digital output and the device is capable of rejecting
50Hz and 60Hz  icker caused by arti cial light sources.
The APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 approximates the
response of the human-eye providing direct read out,
where the output count is proportional to ambient light
level. Low light functionality enables operation behind
darkened glass. The APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 supports
programmable hardware interrupt with hysteresis to
respond to events.
APDS-9306 ultra slim form factor with a height of only
0.34mm and APDS-9306-065 with a height of 0.65mm
enables the sensor to be designed into space-sensitive
applications.
