It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced two new ambient-light photo sensors in miniature chipLED packages. The company is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. Designed to closely follow the human-eye spectral response The variable output of a light-sensitive device that is based on the color of the light it perceives. curve, Avago's APDS-9005 and APDS-9006 ambient-light photo sensors significantly reduce power consumption and save battery life. The new sensors are ideal for mobile and commercial applications, such as handheld devices, notebooks PCs, lighting management, and automobile interiors that draw heavy current from display backlighting. Avago's APDS-9005 (6-pin) and APDS-9006 (reverse mount 4-pin) are analog-current output ambient light photo sensors (ALPS Alps, great mountain system of S central Europe, c.500 mi (800 km) long and c.100 mi (160 km) wide, curving in a great arc from the Riviera coast on the Mediterranean Sea, along the borders of N Italy and adjacent regions of SE France, Switzerland, SW Germany, and ) in a miniature chipLED lead-free package. With a peak spectral response of 500nm, the visual intelligence provided by the ALPSs effectively mimic the human-eye response range by excluding UV (ultra violet violet, common name for some members of the Violaceae, a family of chiefly perennial herbs (and sometimes shrubs, small trees, or climbers) found on all continents. ) and IR (infrared) regions. The new APDS-9005 supports 1.8-5.5V and the APDS-9006 supports 2.4-5.5V; both can sustain temperature ranges of -40 to 85 degrees C. Additionally, the tighter binning in the device results in a consistent level of reliability and high-performance. U.S. Pricing and Availability Pricing for the APDS-9005 and APDS-9006 begin at less than US$0.40 in moderate volumes. These products are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
