Description

The APDS-9003 is a low cost analog-output ambient light photo sensor in miniature chipLED lead-surface mount package. It consists of a spectrally suited photo sensor, which provides excellent responsivity that is close to the response of human eyes.The APDS-9003 is ideal for applications in which the measurement of ambient light is used to control display backlighting. Mobile appliances such as the mobile phones and PDAs that draw heavy current from display backlighting will benefit from incorporating these photo sensor products in their designs by reducing power consumption significantly.
