LTR-507ALS-01 Ambient Light Sensor and Proximity Sensor Description
The LTR-507ALS-01 is an integrated I2C digital light sensor [ALS] and proximity sensor [PS] with built-in LED driver, in a miniature chipled lead-free surface mount package. This device converts light intensity to a digital output signal capable of direct I2C interface. It provides a linear response over a wide dynamic range and is well suited to applications under high ambient brightness. With built-in proximity sensor, LTR-507ALS-01 offers the feature to detect object at a user configurable distance of typical 50cm Gray Card.

The device supports an interrupt feature that removes the need to poll the sensor for a reading which improves system efficiency.  The device also supports several features that help to minimize the occurrence of false triggering.  This CMOS design and factory-set one time trimming capability ensure minimal device-to-device variations for ease of manufacturability to the end customers.
