Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3320 VEML6030 Ambient Light Sensor I2C 3.3V

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3320):

MIKROE-3320 VEML6030 high accuracy ambient light sensor (ALS) with I2C interface, 3.3V. Ambient 5 click can sense the intensity of the ambient light, providing measurement data in a digital format, over the I2C interface. It utilizes the VEML6030, a miniature ambient light sensor (ALS) which occupies only 2x2 mm of space. Packed in a small transparent casing, this sensor offers a lot of features. Thanks to its 16-bit dynamic range, it can be used in very dim, but also in very bright lighting conditions. A Filtron™ technology provides spectral response close to a real human eye. The flicker noise rejection algorithm improves accuracy, while excellent thermal compensation ensures consistent readings. Type: Optical. Applications: This sensor is an ideal solution for both the IoT light sensing applications, but also for portable or handheld devices which utilize an accurate light intensity sensing, such as the TFT/LCD screens, keypad backlight, cell phones, digital cameras, and similar. On-board modules: VEML6030, a high accuracy ambient light sensor (ALS) with I2C interface, from Vishay Semiconductors. Key Features: High resolution and range of light intensity that can be measured, spectral response similar to human eye, low power consumption, compact design ideal for building IoT applications, immune to flickering and fluorescent light sources, independent of the light source type. Interface: I2C. Input Voltage: 3.3V. Click board size: M (42.9 x 25.4 mm).
