APDS-9002
Miniature Surface-Mount Ambient Light
Photo Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The APDS-9002 is a low-cost analog-output ambient
light photo sensor in lowest cost miniature chipLED
lead-free surface mount package. It consists of a
spectrally suited phototransistor, which peaks in
human luminosity curve. Hence, it provides an
excellent responsivity that is close to the response of
human eyes, as shown in Figure 2. It provides a
design-alternative to the HSDL-9000 digital-output
ambient light photo sensor is suitable for portable
applications with its ultra small package design.
The APDS-9002 is ideal for applications in which
the measurement of ambient light is used to control
display backlighting. Mobile appliances such as the
mobile phones and PDAs that draw heavy current
from display backlighting will benefit from
incorporating these photo sensor products in
their designs by reducing power consumption
significantly.
