TEMT6000 is an ambient light sensor produced by vishay company. This sensor has high sensitivity, adapted to human eye responsivity, wide angle of half sensitivity, surface mount package and other characteristics, which are widely used in controlling LCD display brightness, mobile device keypad backlight and industrial on/off lighting.
The TEMT6000 is an ambient light sensor designed for power‑saving control of LCD backlights, keypad illumination and industrial lighting. It features a peak sensitivity at 570 nm, analog output, and a wide half‑sensitivity angle of 60°.
The document provides absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, typical performance curves, package dimensions, handling guidelines (Moisture Sensitivity Level 4, floor life 72 h), and compliance information such as RoHS and ODS policies.
