DevLab: TEMT600 Ambient Light Sensor
Introduction
The DevLab TEMT600 Ambient Light Sensor is a compact module built around the Vishay TEMT600 phototransistor. It provides a linear analog voltage proportional to ambient light intensity, making it ideal for display back-light control, energy-saving systems, photographic exposure adjustment, and environmental monitoring applications.
