is a 16-bit low power, high sensitivity CMOS ambient light sensor
operated via a simple I2C command. The sensor offers an active interruption
feature that is triggered outside of the threshold window settings eliminating
loading on the host. Active average power consumption is around 200uW.
incorporates a photodiode, amplifiers and analog/digital circuits in a
single chip. Capella’s patented Filtron™ technology, a wafer level optical filter,
provides the best spectral sensitivity to match human eye responses.
The sensor has excellent temperature compensation to maintain output
stability under changing temperature and its refresh rate setting does not need
an external RC low pass filter. There is a programmable shutdown mode which
reduces current consumption to 0.5uA. Operating voltage ranges from 1.7V to
1.9V.
