Ambient-light sensors meet every need

Vishay has extended its range of ambient-light sensors with new package styles and sensing characteristics, to address the widest possible range of applications.

The three latest devices are the TEMT6200FX01, TEPT5700 and TEPT4400, offering surfacemount or through-hole package styles as well as a variety of angular-sensitivity and wavelength-sensitivity characteristics. The new sensors join Vishay’s existing ambient light sensors, the TEMT6000X01 and TEPT5600 in surface-mount and through-hole packages, creating a portfolio that can fulfill the requirements of most applications.

This extended selection of ambient-light sensors delivers valuable performance enhancements and power savings in a wide range of user-interface applications, including instrument panels, LCDs, keypads and on/off indicators. They can also be used as convenient phototransistors that require no external amplifier. As a further benefit, these sensors can be used as a RoHS-compliant replacement for cadmium-sulphide photo resistors. Straightforward two-wire connection allows easy design-in to most applications.
