I want to add an analog ambient light detector to one of my electronics projects. To do that, I picked the TEMT6000 ambient light sensor. TEMT6000 is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar phototransistor in ...

For low values of forward current, an LED's light-output intensity is fairly linear (Reference 2). To test the circuit, couple the light output of a second and identical LED to the sensor LED, D 1 , ...

Ambient light is increasingly being used as a source of energy. To help designers of such systems, this circuit accurately measures ambient light intensity over four decades of ...

Ambient-light-sensor technologies will further evolve due to escalating needs for sensors in portable devices like smartphones. Such devices include more than 10 sensors, and they include ALS ICs.

There's a dark side to ambient light sensors that you may not realize, and some researchers have found a novel way to exploit this component.

Researchers discover a way to use a device's ambient light sensor to steal potentially sensitive browser data.

Apple is researching an ambient light sensor that could be embedded underneath an iPhone display, a development that could aid in removing or reducing the screen notch.
