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 ...

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 measurement. The design ...

In addition to their customary roles as indicators and illuminators, modern LEDs can also serve as photovoltaic detectors (reference 1 and reference 2). Simply connecting a red LED to a multimeter and ...

Ambient light sensors (ALSs) are photodetectors that approximate the human eye’s response to light intensity under a variety of lighting conditions and through different attenuation materials. They’re ...

An overwhelming majority of handheld devices these days have ambient light sensors built into them. A large percentage of TVs and monitors do, too, and that proportion is growing. The sensors allow ...

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. Current Apple smartphones, such ...
