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 I2C bus communication interface and additional

interrupt feature.

The ambient light result is as digital value available.

APPLICATIONS

• Ambient light sensor for mobile devices (e.g. smart

phones, touch phones, PDA, GPS) for backlight dimming
