TSL25911FN ams OSRAM, Ambient Light Sensor

The ams TSL2591 series is a very high sensitivity light-to-digital converter that transforms light intensity into a digital signal output capable of direct I2C interface. The device combines one broadband photodiode and one infrared-responding photodiode on a single CMOS integrated circuit. Two integrating ADCs convert the photodiode currents into a digital output that represents the irradiance measured on each channel. This digital output can be input to a microprocessor where illuminance in lux is derived using an empirical formula to approximate the human eye response. It supports a traditional level style interrupt that remains asserted until the firmware clears it.
