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 respon-
sivity 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 back-
lighting will benefit from incorporating these photo
sensor products in their designs by reducing power con-
sumption significantly. Other applications include ESS,
Automatic Residential and Commercial Lighting Manage-
ment.
