Ambient Light Sensor
Description
TEPT4400, photo transistor for ambient light sensor
application, plays a key role in power savings strate-
gies by controlling LCD display intensity and keypad
backlighting of mobile devices and in industrial on/off-
lighting operation. It is sensitive to visible light much
like the human eye and has peak sensitivity at 570 nm.
TEPT4400 is packaged in a T 1" package.
