Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3199 Ambient 4 Click Board, BH1721FVC Digital Light Sensor, I2C

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3199):

The Ambient 4 click is a light intensity-sensing and measuring Click board, which features an accurate, light-intensity sensor labeled BH1721FVC, made by ROHM Corporation. It offers high measurement accuracy in the range between 1x to 1.35x of the actual light intensity. The spectral response of the sensor is calibrated to closely match the spectral response of the human eye. Thanks to its high level of integration, the sensor requires a minimal number of external components, allowing the Click board to incorporate an additional level translating IC, ensuring reliable data transfer over the industry-standard I2C interface. An ideal solution for both IoT light sensing applications and portable or handheld devices which utilize accurate light intensity sensing, such as TFT/LCD screens, keypad backlight, cell phones, and digital cameras. Key features include a high resolution and range of light-intensity that can be measured, a spectral response similar to the human eye, low power consumption, and immunity to flickering and fluorescent light sources.
