Benefits of SensorEyeC light sensors
versus discrete photodiodes
Save PCB board space and cost
Use less discrete components.
Simplify design, ease high-volume production
Low temperature dependency, high linearity, high precision of
light responsivity, solder reflow 260°C.
Increase quality
Low ppm, lower noise and better EMC protection because the
sensitive link between photodiode and amplifier is integrated
on chip.
Additional benefits of automotive version
•
Automotive qualification AEC-Q100
•
Operating temperature up to +125°C
•
High gain on-chip avoids external high resistor values
Application Examples
Copiers and printers
Detect paper feed, orientation and cartridge presence.
LCD backlight dimming
Save battery power and enhanced user experience for cell
phones, GPS receivers, MP3 players, PCs. Also LED dimming.
Ambient light detection
Activate and de-activate lighting, sun blinds, roof windows.
Closed loop LED light and color intensity control.
Hand Detection
Activate washing table water taps and hand dryers.
Automotive light control
Detect ambient light for rear-view mirror dimming, for
instrument panel light control and for headlight control.
