APDS-9006-020
Miniature Surface-Mount Ambient Light Photo Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The APDS-9006 is a low cost analog-output ambient light photo sensor in a Reverse Mount, 4 pin miniature chipLED lead free surface mount package, with temperature and voltage compensation features. It consists of a spectrally suited photo sensor, which provides excellent responsivity that is close to the response of the human eyes, as shown in figure 2. The APDS-9006 is ideal for applications in which the measurement of ambient light is used to control display backlighting such as in Note-book, mobile phone, PDA applications that draw heavy current from display backlighting will benefit from incorporating these photo sensor products in their designs by reducing power consumption significantly.
