DESCRIPTION

· The NOA1212 is a low-power ambient light sensor with analog current output and power-down mode.

· It operates from 2V to 5.5V and features dynamic dark current compensation for high SNR and wide DR.

· Designed for handheld devices, it consumes less than 8µA in dark and 200pA in power-down mode.

FEATURES

· Ambient light sensing with proportional current output.

· Photopic spectral response and dynamic dark current compensation.

· Three selectable output current gain modes in ~10x steps.

· Power consumption <18µA at 100 lux, <8µA in dark, and <200pA in power-down mode.

· Linear response from ~0 lux to >100,000 lux.

· Wide operating voltage (2V to 5.5V) and temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).

· Pb-free, halogen-free, BFR-free, and RoHS compliant.

APPLICATIONS

· Power-saving in cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, GPS devices.

· Cameras, video recorders, mobile devices with displays or backlit keypads.

· Laptops, notebooks, digital signage, LCD TVs, monitors, digital picture frames.

· Automobile dashboard displays, infotainment systems.

· LED indoor/outdoor residential and street lights.
