In summary, the Vishay Optoelectronics VEML6030 includes an ambient light sensing photodiode and signal processing circuitry to allow it to be read via the I²C interface. The sensor has an up to 0.0036 lux per count capable 16-bit resolution. Vishay’s patented Filtron on-chip coating enables maximum performance. The VEML6030 is user programmable to set the upper and lower thresholds. Most discrete photodetectors and ambient light sensors deviate from the V(λ) curve under different light sources; the VEML6030 follows the V(λ) curve exactly.
