Description
Avago Technologies APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 is a low-voltage Digital Ambient Light Sensor that converts light intensity to digital signal output with I2C interface. It consists of photodiode, ADC, oscillator and power-on reset to ensure consistent start-up. ADCs convert the photodiode currents to a digital output and the device is capable of rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by artificial light sources.
