The APDS-9004 is a low cost analog-output ambient light photo sensor in miniature chipLED lead-free, reverse surface mount package. It has a spectral response close to CIE standard photopic observer, providing excellent responsivity similar to human eyes. With its small package design, it is suitable for portable applications. The APDS-9004 is ideal for applications in which the measurement of ambient light is used to control display backlighting. Mobile appliances such as mobile phones and PDAs can significantly reduce power consumption by incorporating these photo sensor products in their designs.
The APDS-9004 is a low‑cost analog‑output ambient light photo sensor in a miniature ChipLED reverse surface‑mount package. Its spectral responsivity closely matches the CIE standard photopic observer, making it ideal for controlling display backlighting in mobile phones, PDAs, notebooks, TVs and other consumer devices.
Key specifications include an operating temperature range of –40 °C to 85 °C, a supply voltage of 2.4 V to 5.5 V, typical output currents of 19 µA at 10 lux and 230 µA at 100 lux, and a peak sensitivity wavelength of 620 nm. The device is supplied in a moisture‑proof sealed package with recommended baking procedures before reflow.
