Figure 3: Electronic configuration for APDS-9003[1]
As shown in figure 3, The 3V Vcc is supplied to the sensor in pin 1 and pins 2 to 5 are not connected. Pin 6 is the output pin. When a light source strikes the sensor it produces photo current. The current through load resistor creates the analog voltage output. The capacitor in parallel with the RL filters the noise and the filtered signal is converted to digital format in our electronic devices using A/D converter or a microcontroller.
