APDS-9300 is a small digital ambient light sensor with digital I2C interface, which can convert light intensity to digital signal output.
The APDS-9300 is a low‑voltage digital ambient light photo sensor that combines a broadband photodiode and an infrared photodiode. It integrates two ADCs to convert photodiode currents into a 16‑bit digital output, approximating the human‑eye response and offering programmable interrupt thresholds.
The device operates from a 2.5‑V to 3.8‑V supply, consumes as little as 0.6 mA in active mode (0.24 mA typical), and communicates via an I²C fast‑mode interface up to 400 kHz. It is offered in a 6‑pin chip‑LED package (0.55 mm × 2.60 mm × 2.20 mm) and includes three selectable I²C slave addresses via the ADDR SEL pin.
