Mikroe MIKROE-3452 Ambient 8 Click

Mikroe MIKROE-3452 Ambient 8 Click is equipped with an ambient light sensor that measures ambient light intensity in a digital format. The Mikroe board utilizes the LTR-329ALS-01 ALS with the I²C interface. The sensor provides accurate readings thanks to a 16-bit resolution and a high dynamic range. The sensor can be used in very dim or bright lighting conditions. The sensor can cover the range from 0.01lx to 64klx. The board has excellent IR filtering and two photo-sensing elements, allowing linear response over the whole range. The flicker noise rejection algorithm further improves accuracy. Excellent thermal compensation ensures the consistency of the measurement results.
