SparkFun BOB-08688 Ambient Light Sensor Breakout TEMT6000

Basic breakout board for the TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor. TEMT6000 is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar phototransistor in a miniature transparent mold for surface mounting onto a printed circuit board. The device is sensitive to the visible spectrum. Only what you need, nothing you don’t. Sensor acts like a transistor – the greater the incoming light, the higher the analog voltage on the signal pin. 

The SparkFun BOB-08688 Ambient Light Sensor Breakout features the TEMT6000 phototransistor, designed to measure ambient light intensity similar to the human eye's response. This compact and easy-to-use sensor outputs an analog voltage proportional to the amount of light detected, making it ideal for automatic brightness control, light-sensing projects, and environmental monitoring.

With its 3.3V to 5V operating range, this breakout board is compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers. Its simple interface allows for seamless integration into projects that require adaptive lighting, power management, or daylight sensing.
