Mikroe MIKROE-3444 Ambient 6 Click

Mikroe MIKROE-3444 Ambient 6 Click senses the intensity of ambient light and provides measurement data in a digital format over an I2C interface. The Mikroe Ambient 6 Click uses the VEML7700 miniature ambient light sensor (ALS) with an I2C interface. The MIKROE-3444 is housed in a small transparent casing and provides accurate readings thanks to its 16-bit dynamic range. The device can be used in very dim and bright lighting conditions. Filtron™ technology allows response close to a human eye, while O-Trim™ technology allows for less than 10% ALS tolerance. The flicker noise rejection algorithm further improves accuracy, while excellent thermal compensation ensures consistency of the measurement results.
