Digital Ambient Light and
UVB Energy Sensor
ZOPT2201
Datasheet
Brief Description
The ZOPT2201 Sensor integrates an ambient light sensor (ALS)
and ultraviolet energy sensor (UVBS). The device can be
connected via an I²C interface to an external microcontroller.
Other I²C or SMBus devices can be connected to the same
interface. The device has a programmable interrupt with hys-
teresis to respond to events and reduce the microcontroller tasks.
A major application of the device is in smart phones or other
mobile devices to enable brightness control of display panels
(ALS) and diverse health care applications or contextual
awareness algorithms (UVBS).
