23-Bit Effective dynamic range with
automatic gain ranging
12 Binary-weighted full-scale range settings:
< 0.2% (typical) matching between ranges
Low operating current: 1.8 µA (Typical)
Operating temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
Wide power-supply range: 1.6 V to 3.6 V
5.5-V Tolerant I/O
The OPT3004 is a sensor that measures the intensity
of visible light. The spectral response of the sensor
tightly matches the photopic response of the human
eye and includes significant infrared rejection over a
wide angle of incidence.

The OPT3004 is a single-chip lux meter, measuring
the intensity of light as visible by the human eye. The
precision spectral response and strong IR rejection
of the device enables the OPT3004 to accurately
meter the intensity of light as seen by the human
eye regardless of light source. The strong IR rejection
also helps to maintain high accuracy when industrial
design calls for mounting the sensor under dark glass
for aesthetics. The OPT3004 is designed for systems
that create light-based experiences for humans, and
is an ideal preferred replacement for photodiodes,
photoresistors, or other ambient light sensors with
less human eye matching and IR rejection.

Flexible interrupt system
Small-form factor:
– 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.65 mm for USON package
– 2.1 mm × 1.9 mm × 0.6 mm for SOT-5X3
package
Measurements can be made from 0.01 lux up to
83 k lux without manually selecting full-scale ranges
by using the built-in, full-scale setting feature. This
capability allows light measurement over a 23-bit
effective dynamic range.
