APDS-9005 Miniature Surface Mount Ambient Light Photosensor

Broadcom's APDS-9005 is ideal for applications where ambient light is used to control display backlighting

Image of Broadcom's APDS-9005 Miniature Ambient Light Photo Sensors Broadcom's APDS-9005 is a low-cost analog output ambient light photosensor in a miniature ChipLED lead-free surface mount package. It consists of a photosensor whose spectral response is close to the CIE standard photopic observer. It is ideal for applications in which the measurement of ambient light is used to control display backlighting.

Features
  • Spectral responsivity close to that of the human eye
  • Miniature ChipLED lead-free surface mount package of 0.55 mm x 1.60 mm x 1.50 mm (H x W x D)
  • Low sensitivity variation across various light sources
  • Recommended temperature performance from -40°C to +85°C
  • VCC supply from 1.8 V to 5.5 V
  • Lead-free package, RoHS compliant
  • Output linearity across a wide illumination range
Applications
  • Detection of ambient light to control display backlighting
    • Mobile devices: mobile phones, PDAs, etc.
    • Computing devices: notebooks, webpads, etc.
    • Consumer devices: TVs, video cameras, digital still cameras, etc.
  • Automatic residential and commercial lighting management
