Optical sensors are commonly used in a variety of applications, ranging from environmental monitoring and automotive sensing to industrial, medical and industrial sensing applications. Among optical sensors, Ambient Light, Infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet (UV) Sensors are of particular interest for their ability to measure light even in dark and occasionally hazardous environments. The AS7000-AA is a particular type of optical sensor that combines Ambient Light Sensors, IR and UV Sensors in a cost-effective and convenient way. This application note explains the application fields and the working principle of the AS7000-AA.

The AS7000-AA is a high performance active optical sensor designed to detect lights in the ambient environment even in extreme circumstances. The sensor is equipped with a special dual sensing chip, which can detect wavelengths of up to 640 nm and up to 1100 nm. This functionality makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as monitoring ambient light levels, detecting infrared and ultraviolet radiation, and monitoring air flow.

The AS7000-AA has several advantages, such as high resolution, high accuracy and low power consumption. Its low power consumption makes it ideal for battery-powered solar cell applications. Additionally, the sensor is compatible with a variety of different microcontrollers, such as the ATmega and STM32F4 range, making it suitable for multiple applications. Its integrated temperature compensation makes this sensor especially suited for temperature system monitoring and other related applications.

The working principle of the AS7000-AA involves two components: an operating amplifier and a phototransistor. The operating amplifier converts the electric current from the phototransistor into voltage output, providing a usable signal for the microcontroller. The phototransistor, on the other hand, senses the intensity of incident light and converts it to a current signal. This signal is then amplified by the operating amplifier in order to obtain the voltage output.

To further improve its performance, the AS7000-AA uses an advanced Autonomous Mode, which enables the sensor to autonomously measure the ambient light even in extreme circumstances. In this mode, the ambient light can be sensed up to 20m Lux and the infrared radiation up to 500m Lux. The Autonomous Mode also provides enhanced level of stability even in changing lighting environments.

The AS7000-AA is considered a versatile and reliable optical sensor for a wide range of applications. Its wide dynamic range, temperature compensation artificial intelligence algorithms, and its integrated microcontroller make it well suited for automotive sensing and industrial, medical and environmental sensing applications. Furthermore, its low power consumption and cost effectiveness make it a preferred choice for battery-powered solar cell applications as well.
