Linker VEML6075

Introduction

Linker VEML6075 uses Vishay’s UVA and UVB Light Sensor VEML6075. The VEML6075 senses UVA and UVB light and incorporates photodiode, amplifiers, and analog / digital circuits into a single chip using a CMOS process. When the UV sensor is applied, it is able to detect UVA and UVB intensity to provide a measure of the signal strength as well as allowing for UVI measurement.

Features

• Operating voltage range : 3V - 5.5V
• Logic voltage range : 3V - 5.5V
• Supply current (TYP.) : 485uA
• Output type : I2C bus
• Industrial Temperature Range : -40℃ to +85℃
• 16-bit resolution per channel
• Excellent UVA and UVB sensitivity
• Dimension: 24*23.6*9.2mm

Applications

• Handheld device
• Notebook
• Consumer device
• Industrial and medical application
