Detailed Description
The OPT3001 is an ambient light sensor (ALS) with a digital output integrated circuit. It uses a two-wire interface that works with the I2C protocol making it ideal for many applications. The OPT3001EVM is a platform for evaluating the performance of the OPT3001 under various conditions. The OPT3001EVM consists of two PCBs The first is the SM-USB-DIG board that communicates with the computer, provides power and send and receives appropriate digital signals. The second is the OPT3001 test board, which contains the OPT3001 and it’s support circuitry.
The OPT3001 is an ideal sensing device for measuring ambient light.
Measurements can be made from 0.01 lux up to 83k lux without selecting full-scale ranges by using the built-in, full-scale setting feature. This capability allows light measurement over a 23-bit effective dynamic range.
The spectral response of the ambient light sensor is tightly matched to the photopic response of the human eye and has significant infrared rejection. This tightly matched response offers accurate lux readings of different spectral sources, even under dark glass.
