Descriptions:
The LTR390 is a compact, low-cost UV and ambient light sensor ideal for projects needing accurate UV measurements. Unlike sensors like the Si1145, which estimate UV Index using visible light levels, the LTR390 offers true UVA detection with a spectral response of 300–350nm.
It features a simple I2C interface, making it easy to use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers. This sensor is mounted on a STEMMA QT-compatible breakout board, supports both 3.3V and 5V logic, and requires no external ADC thanks to its built-in biasing and signal processing.
Specifications:
- Model Type: UV Sensor
- Operating Voltage (V): 3 to 5
- Additional Specs.: ALS Measurement: 500 nm to 600 nm,
- UVA Measurement: 300 nm to 350 nm
- Communication Mode: I2C
Features:
- Detects real UV light (300–350nm range), not an approximation.
- Dual-function for both UV and visible light detection.
- Built-in biasing and analog-to-digital conversion.
- Supports both 3.3V and 5V logic levels.
- Easy to prototype and test in various projects.
- Plug-and-play with Qwiic-compatible connectors or breadboards.
- Easy integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.
Package Included:
1 x Adafruit LTR390 UV Light Sensor
