TEMT6000 Ambient light sensor

TEMT6000 Ambient light sensor acts like a transistor the greater the incoming light, the higher the analog voltage on the signal pin.

It is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar photo-transistor in a miniature transparent mold surface mounted onto a printed circuit board. The device is sensitive to the visible spectrum. TEMT6000 Light Sensor will detect the brightness of its surroundings.

Features:

• Adapted to human eye responsivity
• SMD style package on PCB technology
• Suitable for IR reflow soldering
• Lead-free component
• High photosensitivity

Applications: 

• It is used in display backlight dimming in LCD displays and keypad backlighting of mobile devices and in industrial on/off-lighting operation.

Package Includes:

1 x TEMT6000 An Ambient Light Sensor
