DESCRIPTION
VEML6030 is a high accuracy ambient light digital 16-bit
resolution sensor in a miniature transparent 2 mm x 2 mm
package. It includes a high sensitive photodiode, a low
noise amplifier, a 16-bit A/D converter and supports an
easy to use I2C bus communication interface and additional
interrupt feature.
The ambient light result is as digital value available.

APPLICATIONS
• Ambient light sensor for mobile devices (e.g. smart
phones, touch phones, PDA, GPS) for backlight dimming
