Vishay Intertechnology introduced two new Automotive Grade PIN photodiode ambient light sensors, the VEMD4210FX02 and VEMD5525FX02, that deliver accurate visible light measurement without an infrared bump. AEC-Q102 qualified, the devices feature spectral sensitivity closely matched to the human eye response with a peak wavelength of 530 nm and improved angular performance for consistent light measurement regardless of incoming light angle. The VEMD4210FX02 comes in a compact 0805 package with a 0.42 mm² radiant sensitive area and typical reverse light current of 0.014 μA, while the VEMD5525FX02 offers enhanced sensitivity in low light with a reverse light current of 0.11 μA in a top-view QFN package with a 7.5 mm² radiant sensitive area. Both sensors operate over a temperature range of -40 °C to +110 °C and are available now with lead times of eight weeks.
