High Accuracy Ambient Light Sensor With I

C Interface

DESCRIPTION

VEML6030 is a high accuracy ambient light digital 16-bit

resolution sensor in a miniature transparent 2 mm x 2 mm

package. It includes a high sensitive photodiode, a low

noise amplifier, a 16-bit A/D converter and supports an

easy to use I

C bus communication interface and additional

interrupt feature.

The ambient light result is as digital value available.

APPLICATIONS

VEML6030 www.vishay.com Vishay Semiconductors APPLICATION INFORMATION VEML6030 is a cost effective solution of ambient light sensor with I2C bus interface. The standard serial digital interface is easy to access “Ambient Light Signal” without complex calculation and programming by external controller. Beside the digital output also a flexible programmable interrupt pin is available. 1. Application Circuit 1.7 V to 3.6 V R1 R2 R3 GND (1) 2.5 V to 3.

VEML6030 www.vishay.com Vishay Semiconductors Register Addresses Auto-Memorization VEML6030 has actual six user accessible 16 bit command codes. VEML6030 can memorize the last ambient data before shutdown and keep this data before waking up. The addresses are 00h to 06h (03h not defined / reserved). When VEML6030 is in shutdown mode, the host can freely read this data via read command directly. When VEML6030 wakes up, the data will be refreshed by new detection.

VEML6030 www.vishay.com Vishay Semiconductors Command Code #6: Interrupt Status Command code address = 06h. Bit 15 defines interrupt flag while trigger occurred due to data crossing low threshold windows. Bit 14 defines interrupt flag while trigger occurred due to data crossing high threshold windows.
