APDS-9300
Miniature Ambient Light Photo Sensor
with Digital (I²C) Output
Data Sheet
Description
The APDS-9300 is a low-voltage Digital Ambient Light
Photo Sensor that converts light intensity to digital signal
output capable of direct I²C interface. Each device consists
of one broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared) and
one infrared photodiode. Two integrating ADCs convert
the photodiode currents to a digital output that represents
the irradiance measured on each channel. This digital out-
put can be input to a microprocessor where illuminance
(ambient light level) in lux is derived using an empirical
formula to approximate the human-eye response.
Application Support Information
