UV Sensor ML8511 LAPIS Semiconductor developed the UV sensor ( ML8511 ) to detect a ultra violet rays with Si ( silicon ) device using the original SOI ( silicon on insulator ) technology. The ML8511 measures the amount of ultra violet rayses contained in sunlight, and it is used for the equipment which displays the suntan by a ultra violet rays, the guidance for UV care of skin, etc. The ML8511 is ideal for mobile computing devices, such as a smart phone, a mobile phone, and a watch, at low power and a compact package (QFN). Parameter Specification Part No. ML8511 Functional description UV sensor with amplifier circuit Operating voltage 2.7 to 3.6V Operating temperature -20 to +70°C Maximum-sensitivity wave length 365nm Sensitivity region UV-A and UV-B Output type Analog Current Consumption (Operating mode / Standby mode) 300µA / 0.1µA
