Introduction

BH1750FVI is a digital Ambient Light Sensor IC for I2C bus interface. This IC is the most suitable to receive the ambient light data for adjusting LCD and Keypad backlight power of Mobile phone. It is possible to detect wide range at High resolution.(1 – 65535 lx)

Features

1. Type: GY-302;
2. Size: 13.9mm x 18.5mm;
3. ROHM original package BH1750FVI chip;
4. Power Supply: 3~5V;
5. Date Range: 0~65535;
6. Sensor build-in 16-bit AD converter;
7. Direct digital output, omit complex calculations and calibration;
8. No ambient light distinction;
9. Dichroism close to visual sensitivity;
10. High precision determination accurate to 1 Lu for different lights.

Introduction of Pins

Principle

BH1750FVI is possible to change sensor sensitivity. And it is possible to cancel the optical window influence by changing sensor sensitivity from default to 2 times.

Sensor sensitivity is shifted by changing the value of MTreg (measurement time register). MTreg value has to set 2 times if target of sensor sensitivity is 2 times. Measurement time is also set 2 times when MTreg value is changed from default to 2 times.

Procedure for changing target sensor sensitivity to 2 times.
Please change Mtreg from “0100_01010” (default) to “1000_1010” (default * 2).
