APDS-9250
Digital RGB, IR and Ambient Light Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The APDS-9250 device uses 4 individual channels of red,
green, blue, and IR (RGB+IR) in a specially designed matrix
arrangement. This allows the device to have optimal
angular response and accurate RGB spectral response
with high lux accuracy over various light sources.
APDS-9250 supports the I²C interface and has a program-
mable interrupt controller that frees up micro-controller
resources.
The device detects light intensity under a variety of
lighting conditions and through a variety of attenua-
tion materials, including dark glass. APDS-9250 could be
configured as Ambient Light Sensor and RGB+IR Sensor.
The color-sensing feature is useful in applications such as
LED RGB backlight control, solid-state lighting, reflected
LED color sampler, or fluorescent light color temperature
detection. The integrated IR blocking filter makes this
device an excellent ambient light sensor and color tem-
perature monitor sensor together with the temperature
compensation that allows output to have less variation
over the temperature.
