Panasonic Light Sensor; Sensor Output Panasonic AMS302

The Panasonic Light Sensor (part number 11N1073) is a high-sensitivity device designed for various applications, including automatic lighting and brightness detection. It features a built-in optical filter that closely matches human visibility characteristics and provides a linear photocurrent output proportional to ambient light levels. The sensor operates within a supply voltage range of 1.5V to 6V and has a peak sensitivity wavelength of 580 nm. This light sensor is RoHS compliant and constructed from environmentally friendly silicon. It can function effectively in a wide operating temperature range of -30 ¬8C to 85 ¬8C and has a maximum power dissipation of 40 mW. The device is available in a through-hole type package, making it suitable for various circuit board designs. Typical photocurrent output at 100 lx is around 260 OºA, with a maximum of 338 OºA. The sensor also exhibits a typical rise and fall time of 8.5 ms, ensuring quick response to changes in light conditions. Engineers considering this product should note its suitability for applications requiring reliable light detection and energy-saving features in domestic appliances and lighting systems.
