-8511 UV Sensor Module -ML8511 Analog Output UV Sensor Breakou The ML8511 break out is an easy to use ultraviolet light sensor The MP8511 UV (ultra violet) Sensor works by outputting an analog signal in relation to the amount of UV light that's detected This breakthrough can be very handy in creating devices that warn the user of sunburn or detect the UV index as it relates to weather conditions This sensor detects 280-390nm light most effectively This is categorized as part of the UVB (burning rays) spectrum and most of the UVA (tanning rays) spectrum It outputs a log voltage that is linearly related to the measured UV intensity (mW/cm) If your microcontroller can do an analysis to digital signal conversion then you can detect the level of UV! has launched a built-in operational amplifier for its ultraviolet (UV) sensor IC - ML8511. This product uses insulated silicon coated (SOI) - CMOS, making it the company's first UV sensor with analog voltage output and no filter. 's UV sensor IC is suitable for digital and analog circuits due to its easy to integrate SOI-CMOS technology. stated that in the , the company flexibly utilize this expertise, strengthen and connect the digital output circuit of microprocessors, and form a single chip product lineup with ambient light sensors; products hope to not only be decorative measuring devices that can clearly understand the UV amount in a day and grasp the UV danger level at any time, but also promote their application to the fields of household appliances and portable devices. ML8511 can output analog voltage directly proportional to the amount of UV light. Due to the ability to output voltage, it is possible to directly connect the A/D digital/analog converter of the built-in MCU without the need for a photoelectric conversion circuit. And it uses a small, thin packaging method, suitable for portable device use.
