EL7900 Overview
EL7900 Ambient Light Photo Detect IC The EL7900 is a light-to-current optical sensor bining a photodiode and a current amplifier on a single monolithic IC. Output current is directly proportionate to the light intensity on the photodiode. Its sensitivity is superior to that of a phototransistor and exhibits little variation.
