Product Description

Avago Technologies’ innovative ambient light sensor solutions are designed to meet the industry requirements for high levels of integration. Avago products outperform other light detection solutions because the devices have spectral response that peaks at the same frequency as the human eye, and perform equally well with all light sources. More importantly, the sensors provide good suppression of infrared signals, which are the result of interference emitted by natural and artificial light sources. The Avago ambient light sensors are an ideal power-savings solution for notebook PCs, portable DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, and mobile phones. They can also be used for turning on/off indoor and outdoor lighting, street lighting and electronic signs and signals.

On the proximity sensing front, Avago continues to revolutionize the consumer and industrial market with the introduction of the miniature surface-mount optical proximity sensor. This product is a complete opto-module that houses both an LED and a photodiode in a specially designed metal-shield to ensure excellent optical isolation. The result is a low-cost analog-output reflective sensor with low optical cross-talk, and excellent power efficiency, most suited in mobile applications and industrial control systems, as well as printers, facsimile machines and photocopiers.
