ML8511
UV Sensor with Voltage Output
GENERAL DISCRIPTION
The ML8511 is a UV sensor, which is suitable for acquiring UV intensity indoors or outdoors. The ML8511 is
equipped with an internal amplifier, which converts photo-current to voltage depending on the UV intensity.
This unique feature offers an easy interface to external circuits such as ADC. In the power down mode, typical
standby current is 0.1A, thus enabling a longer battery life.
FEATURES
• Photodiode sensitive to UV-A and UV-B
• Embedded operational amplifier
• Analog voltage output
• Low supply current (300A typ.) and low standby current (0.1A typ.)
• Small and thin surface mount package (4.0mm x 3.7mm x 0.73mm, 12-pin ceramic QFN)
APPLICATIONS
• Smart phone, Watch, Weather station,Bicycle navigation, Accessary, Gaming

TIMING CHART
Supply voltage and EN signal state should take one of the following procedures:
1. EN should be HIGH or LOW at the same time when V
DD
is applied.
2. EN should be HIGH or LOW while V
DD
is applied.
Output should be read after output voltage level becomes stable. Maximum time required until stable output
voltage reaches is 1 millisecond after EN goes HIGH.
