APDS-9003
Miniature Surface-Mount Ambient Light Photo Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The APDS-9003 is a low cost analog-output ambient light
photo sensor in miniature chipLED lead-free surface
mount package. It consists of a spectrally suited photo
sensor, which provides excellent responsivity that is close
to the response of the human eyes, as shown in figure 2.
The APDS-9003 is ideal for applications in which the
measurement of ambient light is used to control display
backlighting. Mobile appliances such as the mobile
phones and PDAs that draw heavy current from display
backlighting will benefit from incorporating these photo
sensor products in their designs by reducing power
consumption significantly.

Recommended Reflow Profile
The reflow profile is a straight-line representation of a
nominal temperature profile for a convective reflow solder
process. The temperature profile is divided into four
process zones, each with different DT/Dtime temperature
change rates. The DT/Dtime rates are detailed in the
above table. The temperatures are measured at the
component to printed circuit board connections.
In process zone P1, the PC board and APDS-9003
castellation pins are heated to a temperature of 160°C to
activate the flux in the solder paste. The temperature
ramp up rate, R1, is limited to 4°C per second to allow for
even heating of both the PC board and APDS-9003
castellations.
Process zone P2 should be of sufficient time duration
(60 to 120 seconds) to dry the solder paste. The
temperature is raised to a level just below the liquidus
point of the solder, usually 200°C (392°F).
Process zone P3 is the solder reflow zone. In zone P3, the
temperature is quickly raised above the liquidus point of
solder to 255°C (491°F) for optimum results. The dwell
time above the liquidus point of solder should be between
20 and 60 seconds. It usually takes about 20 seconds to
assure proper coalescing of the solder balls into liquid
solder and the formation of good solder connections.
Beyond a dwell time of 60 seconds, the intermetallic
growth within the solder connections becomes excessive,
resulting in the formation of weak and unreliable
connections. The temperature is then rapidly reduced to
a point below the solidus temperature of the solder,
usually 200°C (392°F), to allow the solder within the
connections to freeze solid.
Process zone P4 is the cool down after solder freeze. The
cool down rate, R5, from the liquidus point of the solder
to 25°C (77°F) should not exceed 6°C per second
maximum. This limitation is necessary to allow the PC
board and APDS-9003 castellations to change dimensions
evenly, putting minimal stresses on the APDS-9003.

for shield pad is 0.4mm x 0.4mm and 0.2mm x 0.4mm (as

Appendix B: Optical Window Design for APDS-9003
2.0
Optical Window Dimensions
To ensure that the performance of the APDS-9003 will
not be affected by improper window design, there are
some constraints on the dimensions and design of the
window. There is a constraint on the minimum size of the
window, which is placed in front of the photo light sensor,
so that it will not affect the angular response of the APDS9003. This minimum dimension that is recommended
will ensure at least a ±35° light reception cone.
If a smaller window is required, a light pipe or light guide
can be used. A light pipe or light guide is a cylindrical
piece of transparent plastic, which makes use of total
internal reflection to focus the light.
The thickness of the window should be kept as minimum
as possible because there is a loss of power in every
optical window of about 8% due to reflection (4% on
each side) and an additional loss of energy in the plastic
material.
Figure 5a and 5b illustrate the two types of window that
we have recommended which could either be a flat
window or a flat window with light pipe.
Table 1 and Fgure 6 below show the recommended
dimensions of the window. These dimension values are
based on a window thickness of 1.0mm with a refractive
index 1.585.

The window should be placed directly on top of the
photo sensor to achieve better performance and if a flat
window with a light pipe is used, dimension D2 should
be 1.5mm to optimize the performance of APDS-9003.
2.1 Optical Window Material
The material of the window is recommended to be
polycarbonate. The surface finish of the plastic should be
smooth, without any texture.
The recommended plastic material for use as a window is
available from Bayer AG and Bayer Antwerp N. V. (Europe),
Bayer Corp.(USA) and Bayer Polymers Co., Ltd. (Thailand),
as shown in Table 2.

Appendix C: General Application Guide for APDS-9003
The APDS-9003 is a low cost analog-output ambient light
photo sensor whose spectral response closely emulates
the human eyes. APDS-9003 consists of a photo sensor
that is able to produce a high gain photo current to a
sufficient level that can be converted to voltage with a
standard value of external resistor. APDS-9003 can easily
be integrated into systems that use ADC input which is
available for sampling of the external source, as shown in
figure 7 below.
Selection of the load resistor RL will determine the amount
of current-to-voltage conversion in the circuit. APDS9003 allows a saturation output voltage of typically 2.32V
@ VCC=3V.
Light source e.g. fluorescent light consists of ac noise
frequency of about 100Hz. A capacitor of 10uF, which act
as a low-pass filter, is recommended to add in parallel
with the load resistor to reduce the ripples.
The amount of converted voltage, Vout, is mainly
dependant proportionally on the photo current which
generated by the brightness of the light shone on the
photo sensor and the load resistor used, RL. Increasing
the brightness of the light or/and the load resistor will
increase the output voltage.
Brightness is measured as “LUX” unit, which describes
how intense a light source that our eyes perceive. LUX
meter is the equipment for “LUX” measurement. Light
sources with the same LUX level appear at the same
brightness to the human eyes.
