High Accuracy Ambient Light Sensor with I
2
C 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 I
2
C 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
