The NOA1213 is a very low power ambient light sensor (ALS) with an analog current output and a power down mode to conserve power. Designed primarily for handheld device applications, the active power dissipation of this chip is less than 8 A at dark and its quiescent current consumption is less than 200 pA in power down mode. The device can operate over a very wide range of voltages from 2 V to 5.5 V.
