APDS-9800 is an integrated ambient light sensor (ALS), proximity sensor (PS) and ambient light cancellation functions in a single module, which can detect ambient light illuminance level and control the brightness of display backlights.
The APDS-9800 combines an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor with built‑in LED emitter and detector, and signal‑conditioning circuitry in a single 4.95 × 3.0 × 1.45 mm package. It offers both analog and digital outputs, low power consumption, and operation under strong sunlight.
The document provides functional block diagrams, pin configuration tables, electrical and optical specifications, typical application circuits, mechanical drawings, and recommended reflow and window designs for reliable integration into mobile phones, PDAs, notebooks, and other handheld devices.
