VEML6030
Overview
The VEML6030 is a high-accuracy, 16-bit resolution ambient light sensor that communicates over an I2C interface. It is designed to mimic the human eye's spectral response and features a wide dynamic range from 0 lx to 140 klx, making it suitable for both dark environments and direct sunlight.
Why Choose This Part
The sensor features excellent temperature compensation and 100 Hz / 120 Hz flicker noise rejection to ensure stable readings in various lighting conditions. Its ultra-low power consumption of 0.5 uA in shutdown mode and 8 uA in active mode makes it ideal for battery-operated IoT devices.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Interface the sensor via its I2C pins to any microcontroller operating between 2.5V and 3.6V. Start by configuring the integration time and gain registers to match your environment's expected light levels, and utilize the built-in interrupt pin to wake the host processor only when specific light thresholds are met.
