TS2166-A Okdo, Ambient Light Sensor, Ambient Light

The Okdo TelePort TEMT6000 ambient light sensor is composed of a high- sensitive photosensitive (NPN type) triode. Its brightness is proportion to its the current of basic electrode. It can capture tiny light illumination changes and magnify about 100 times, then be easily recognized by the microcontroller for AD conversion. In addition, the stronger the incident light, the larger the analog voltage at the signal pin.

Based on the TEMT6000 sensor with a spectral response similar to the human eye
No need toaddfilterstoremove IR and UV spectrum
Ideal to detect ambient light levels
