Broadcom APDS-9922/APDS-9160 Sensors

Author : Broadcom Published Time : 2019-01-03
Broadcom APDS-9922/APDS-9160 Ambient Light and Proximity Sensors provide a digital I2C compatible interface ambient light sensor (ALS) and proximity sensor with IR LED in a single 8-pin package. The ALS allows a photopic response to light intensity in low light conditions or behind a dark faceplate. The device approximates the response of the human eye providing direct readout where the output count is proportional to the ambient light level. The APDS-9922/APDS-9160 Sensors feature a low light functionality, enabling operation behind darkened glass. The proximity detection feature operates well from bright sunlight to dark rooms. The micro-optics lenses within the module, allow a highly efficient transmission and reception of infrared energy which lowers overall power dissipation. The device utilizes the low-power standby mode resulting in a very low average power consumption.
