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. Other applications include ESS, Automatic Residential and Commercial Lighting Management.
Features
• Excellent responsivity which peaks in the human luminosity curve, close responsivity to the human eye • ChipLED surface-mount package – Reverse Mounting Height – 1.10mm Width – 3.20mm Depth – 1.60mm • Good output linearity across wide illumination range • Low sensitivity variation across various light sources • Stable performance over temperature and voltage • Operating temperature, -40°C to 85°C • Vcc supply 2.4 to 5.5V • Lead-free package
Applications
• Detection of ambient light to control display backlighting Mobile devices – Mobile phones, PDAs Computing devices – Notebooks, Webpads Consumer devices – TVs, Video Cameras, Digital Still Cameras • Automatic Residential and Commercial Lighting Management • Electronic Signs and Signals
