VISHAY VEML6035

VEML6035 is a 16-bit low power, high sensitivity CMO S ambient light sensor operated via a simple I²C command. The sensor offers an active interruption feature that is triggered outside of the threshold window settings eliminating loading on the host. Active average power consumption is around 300 μW. VEML6035 incorporates a photodiode, amplifiers, and analog / digital circuits in a single chip. Vishay’s patented FiltronTM technology, a wafer level optical filter, provides the best spectral sensitivity to match human eye responses. The sensor has excellent temperature compensation to maintain output stability under changing temperature and its refresh rate setting does not need an external RC low pass filter. There is a programmable shutdown mode which reduces current consumption to 0.5 μA. Operating voltage ranges from 1.7 V to 3.6 V.
