APDS-9004 Miniature Surface-Mount Ambient Light Photo Sensor Data Sheet Description Features The APDS-9004 is a low cost analog-output ambient Spectral responsivity close to that of human eye light photo sensor in miniature chipLED lead-free, ChipLED Reverse surface-mount package reverse surface mount package. It consists of a photo Height 1.10mm sensor, whose spectral response is close to CIE standard Width 3.20mm photopic observer. Hence, it provides an excellent Depth 1.60mm responsivity that is close to the response of human eyes, as shown in Figure 2. It is suitable for portable Good output linearity across wide illumination applications with its ultra small package design. range The APDS-9004 is ideal for applications in which the Low sensitivity variation across various light measurement of ambient light is used to control sources display backlighting. Mobile appliances such as the Operating temperature mobile phones and PDAs that draw heavy current from -40C to 85C display backlighting will benefit from incorporating these photo sensor products in their designs by Vcc supply 2.4 to 5.5V reducing power consumption significantly. Lead-free package, RoHS compliance. Applications Detection of ambient light to control display backlighting - Mobile devices Mobile phones, PDAs - Computing devices Notebooks, Webpads - Consumer devices TVs, Video Cameras, Digital Still Cameras Automatic Residential and Commercial Lighting Management Electronic Signs and Signals CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.Application Support Information The Application Engineering Group is available to assist you with the application design associated with APDS- 9004 ambient light photo sensor module.
