APDS-9250 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Broadcom APDS-9250 is a digital sensor designed for RGB and IR ambient light sensing. It utilizes four individual channels for red, green, blue, and infrared light, arranged in a matrix for optimal angular response and accurate spectral response across various light sources. This sensor is capable of detecting light intensity under diverse lighting conditions and through attenuating materials like dark glass.

 

Key features include a wide dynamic range of 18,000,000:1 and up to 20-bit resolution, enabling precise measurements even in low lux conditions. The device supports the I2C interface, operating at speeds up to 400 kHz, and includes a programmable interrupt controller to free up microcontroller resources. Its small package dimensions (2.0 mm x 2.0 mm x 0.65 mm) make it suitable for space-constrained applications.

 

The APDS-9250 is well-suited for applications such as OLED display control, RGB LED backlight control, and ambient light color temperature sensing. The integrated IR blocking filter and temperature compensation contribute to stable output over varying temperatures, making it an excellent choice for color temperature monitoring.
