3 Description

The OPT4001-Q1 is a light-to-digital sensor (single

chip lux meter) that measures the intensity of visible

light. To measure accurate light intensity, a specially

engineered filter on the device tightly matches the

photopic response of the human eye and rejects the

near-infrared component from common light sources.

The output of OPT4001-Q1 is semi-logarithmic with

nine binary logarithmic full-scale light ranges along

with a highly linear response within each range,

bringing capability to measure from 400 μlux to 107

klux. This capability allows light sensor to have 28-bit

effective dynamic range. The built-in automatic range

selection logic dynamically adjusts the device gain

settings based on the light level, providing the best

possible resolution in all conditions without user input.
