Introduction

Linker VEML6030 uses Vishay’s High Accuracy Ambient Light Sensor VEML6040. VEML6030 is a high accuracy ambient light digital 16-bit resolution sensor in a miniature transparent 2mm x 2mm package. It includes a high sensitive photodiode, a low noise amplifier, a 16-bit A/D converter and supports an easy to use I2C bus communication interface and additional interrupt feature. The ambient light result is as digital value available.
