APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
• Ambient light sensor for mobile devices (e.g. smart
phones, touch phones, PDA, GPS) for backlight dimming
even under tinted glass
VEML6035 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 300 μW.
• Ambient light sensor for industrial on- / off-lighting
operation
• Optical switch for consumer, computing, and industrial
devices and displays
VEML6035 incorporates a photodiode, amplifiers, and
analog / digital circuits in a single chip. Vishay’s patented
FiltronTM 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 0.5 μA. Operating voltage
ranges from 1.7 V to 3.6 V.
AMBIENT LIGHT FUNCTION
• High ALS sensitivity with minimum detectable intensity of
0.0004 lux/bit supports low transmittance lens design
• 100 Hz and 120 Hz flicker noise rejection
• Excellent temperature compensation
• High dynamic detection resolution
INTERRUPT FEATURE (INT) SUPPORT
Programmable interrupt function with upper and lower
thresholds. Adjustable persistence to prevent false triggers.
