Ambient Light Photo Detect IC

The ISL29000 is a light-to-current optical sensor combining a photodiode and a current amplifier on a single monolithic IC. Output current is directly proportionate to the light intensity on the photodiode. Its sensitivity is superior to that of a phototransistor and exhibits little variation. Its spectral sensitivity matches closely to the luminous efficiency and linearity.
