Digilent Pmod ALS: Ambient Light Sensor

The Digilent Pmod ALS is a compact ambient light sensor module designed for digital light intensity measurement. It integrates Vishay’s TEMT6000X01 phototransistor and Texas Instruments’ ADC081S021 8-bit analog-to-digital converter. The module communicates via a 3-wire SPI interface and outputs 8-bit digital values ranging from 0 (low light) to 255 (bright light). With a small form factor of 0.8" × 0.8" (2.0 cm × 2.0 cm), it is suitable for integration into various embedded systems.
