SFH7770E6 - OSRAM

SFH7770E6 Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor

of the sensor. Optical design guidelines and application relevant information are given in Sec. 7 followed by the guidelines for the electrical design in Sec. 8. Finally Sec. 9 presents a sample software code. More general information about ambient light sensing, technical data and I²C bus are available in the following documents: - OSRAM OS general applicat.

Features

a mores sensitive proximity sensor (up to five times improved sensitivity) and improved ambient light sensor (sensitive down to 0.03 lx). The document starts with a general introduction to the device, followed by a brief overview on the features (Sec. 2) and operating modes (Sec. 3) of the sensor. The integration and operation of the sensor in an I²C bus environment is described in Sec. 4, whereas Sec. 5 covers the interrupt capabilities of the SFH 7770 E6. Sec. 6 provides a functional description of the sensor. Optical design guidelines and application relevant information are given in Sec. 7.
