OKI Commercializes World's First UV Sensor IC using Thin-film SOI
By mounting operational amplifier on the IC, OKI achieves highly accurate portable UV meters ready for practical use
[Reference] Main features, specifications and sales plan of ML8511
Main Features
This IC (ML8511) outputs analog voltage proportional to the amount of UV light. Because it can output voltage, it can for example, directly connect to A/D converter mounted on MCU, and there is no need for a circuit to convert photo-electric current. Because it is a small and thin package, it is best used for mobile devices.
