APDS-9002 Miniature Surface-Mount Ambient Light Photo Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The APDS-9002 is a low-cost analog-output ambient light photo sensor in lowest cost miniature chipLED lead-free surface mount package. It consists of a spectrally suited phototransistor, which peaks in human luminosity curve. Hence, it provides an excellent responsivity that is close to the response of human eyes, as shown in Figure 2. It provides a design-alternative to the HSDL-9000 digital-output ambient light photo sensor is suitable for portable applications with its ultra small package design.
The APDS-9002 is ideal for applications in which the measurement of ambient light is used to control display backlighting.
