APDS-9200
Digital UV and Ambient Light Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The Broadcom APDS-9200 device provides ultra-violet (UV-A
and UV-B) sensing and ambient light sensing in a specially
designed matrix arrangement for optimization. This allows the
device to have optimal angular response for ultra-violet and
ambient light sensing. The APDS-9200 converts UV light into
digital data and display as UV index (1… >11) with higher
values representing higher UV exposures.
The ultra-violet sensing feature is useful in consumer
applications for monitoring of UV-A and UV-B radiation as UV
radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that reaches
the earth from the sun. APDS-9200 is able to measure UV
wavelength which has been classified into UV-A (320 nm –
400 nm) and UV-B (290 nm – 320 nm). The ambient light
sensing is targeted for display management with the purpose
of extending battery life and offers optimum viewing in diverse
lightning conditions.
APDS-9200 supports the I²C interface and has a programmable
interrupt function that frees up micro-controller resources
using upper and lower thresholds events.
