VISHAY TEMT6000 Technical data

Ambient Light Sensor

Description

TEMT6000 ambient light sensor plays a key role in
power savings strategies 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. TEMT6000 has analog output
and is packaged in a small surface mount package.
