            VEML6031X00 Ambient Light Sensor
                    Vishay's ambient light sensor offers a high dynamic range to 228 Klx and a resolution of 0.0034 lx/ct for dark lens designs
    

Image of Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division's VEML6031X00 Ambient Light Sensor Vishay's AEC-Q100-qualified ambient light sensor is ideal for automotive and consumer applications where very high sensitivity is needed for sensing light through dark cover materials. The VEML6031X00 features a highly sensitive photodiode, low noise amplifier, 16-bit ADC, and IR channel in a miniature, opaque, 2.67 mm by 2.45 mm surface-mount package with a low 0.6 mm profile. This automotive-grade device enables ambient light spectral sensitivity close to that of the human eye and supports multiple secondary addresses for applications requiring more than one sensor. It also provides excellent temperature compensation to maintain stability despite changes in ambient temperature.
