Description
The Broadcom APDS-9200 device provides ultra-violet (UV-A and UV-B) sensing and ambient light sensing in a specially designed matrix arrangement for optimization. This allows the device to have optimal angular response for ultra-violet and ambient light sensing. The APDS-9200 converts UV light into digital data and display as UV index (1… >11) with higher values representing higher UV exposures.
FEATUREs
◾ Ultra-Violet (UV-A and UV-B) and ambient light sensing
— Digital UV Index register (1 … > 11)
— Linear output
— Excellent temperature compensation
◾ Ambient Light Sensing (ALS)
— Utilizes coating technology to emulate human eye
spectral response (V-Lamda characteristics)
— High sensitivity in low lux condition – Ideally suited for
operation behind dark glass
— Low lux performance at 0.008 lux
— Up to 20-bit resolution
◾ I2C Interface Compatible
— Up to 400 kHz (I2C Fast-Mode)
— Dedicated interrupt pin
◾ Small package: L 2.0 mm × W 2.0 mm × H 0.65 mm
APPLICATIONs
◾ Ultra-violet and Ambient Light Sensing
◾ Mobile devices – cell phones, tablets, outdoor navigation
display
◾ Wearable devices – smart watch, sport watch
