Fairchild FLD00030 Analog Ambient Light Sensor Data Sheet
Summary
This datasheet documents the Fairchild FLD00030 analog ambient light sensor, a compact photodetector measuring just 1.7mm×0.8mm with a 0.6mm low profile. The device incorporates a phototransistor detector with integral filter technology providing spectral response closely matching the human eye for accurate ambient light measurement. Good output linearity is maintained across a wide illumination range, with light current of 710μA typical at 100 lux and 230μA typical at 1,000 lux at 5V collector-

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the spectral response of this sensor?
The sensor's spectral response is close to that of the human eye, with a peak sensitivity at 630 nm.
What are the operational temperature limits?
The operating temperature range (OPR T) is -40°C to +85°C.
How does illumination relate to light current output?
Illuminance increases linearly with light current; for example, at 100 Lux, the light current can be up to 710 µA (depending on conditions).
What is recommended for soldering this component?
The reflow profile requires a maximum temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds and should not be done more than twice.
