DESCRIPTION

· The NOA1213 is a low-power ambient light sensor with analog current output and power-down mode.
· Designed for handheld devices, it operates at less than 8 µA in dark and 200 pA in power-down mode.
· It supports a voltage range from 2 V to 5.5 V and uses CMOS technology for high SNR and dynamic range.
· Features include a photopic optical filter and dark current compensation for accurate light detection.

FEATURES

· Output current proportional to ambient light intensity.
· Photopic spectral response and dynamic dark current compensation.
· Three selectable output current gain modes in 10x steps.
· Power consumption less than 14 µA at 100 lux and 200 pA in power-down mode.
· Linear response from 0 lux to over 100,000 lux.
· Operates from -40 °C to 85 °C and is RoHS compliant.

APPLICATIONS

· Power-saving in cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, GPS devices.
· Used in cameras, video recorders, and mobile devices with displays.
· Suitable for laptops, notebooks, digital signage, and LCD TVs.
· Applications in automobile dashboards and LED lighting for residential and street use.
