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 con-
sumption significantly.
