The Broadcom APDS-9250 is a low-voltage digital RGB, IR and ambient light sensor device that converts light intensity to digital output signal. The device supports I2C-bus interface and has a programmable interrupt controller that takes minimal micro-controller (MCU) resources. The color-sensing feature is useful in applications such as LED RGB backlight control, solid-state lighting, reflected LED color sampler and fluorescent light color temperature detection. With the IR sensing feature, the device can be used to read the IR content in certain lighting condition and detect the type of light source.
