APDS-9008-020 Description

A low-cost analog-output ambient light photo sensor in a small chipLED lead-free surface mount packaging is called the APDS-9008. It is made up of a spectrally appropriate photo sensor that, as shown in figure 2, offers great responsiveness that is comparable to the response of the human eyes.

The APDS-9008 is perfect for uses where ambient light monitoring is utilized to regulate display backlighting. These photo sensor solutions will help mobile appliances like mobile phones and PDAs that consume a lot of electricity from display backlighting by dramatically lowering power consumption.
