It uses a UV photodiode, which can detect the 240-370nm range of light (which covers UVB and most of the UVA spectrum). The signal level from the photodiode is very small, in the nano-ampere level, so we tossed on an opamp to amplify the signal to a more manageable volt level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis sensor is much simpler than our Si1145 breakout, it only does one thing and gives an analogue voltage output instead of requiring a complicated I2C setup procedure. This makes it better for simple projects. It also has a 'true' UV sensor instead of a calibrated light sensor. To use, power the sensor and op-amp by connecting V+ to 2.7-5.5VDC and GND to power the ground. Then read the analogue signal from the OUT pin. The output voltage is Vo = 4.3 * Diode-Current-in-uA. So if the photocurrent is 1uA (9 mW\/cm^2), the output voltage is 4.3V. You can also convert the voltage to UV Index by dividing the output voltage by 0.1V. So if the output voltage is 0.5V, the UV Index is about 5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note\u003c\/strong\u003e, that our UV LEDs are 400nm, outside the range of this sensor, so if you're trying to test this sensor, don't use them! A UV tanning lamp or 'lizard lamp' will work much better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevision History\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAs of September 4th, 2024\u003c\/b\u003e – We've updated this PCB with Adafruit Pinguin to make a lovely and legible silkscreen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 10mm x 19mm x 2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.7g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\" id=\"tab-technical-details-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFritzing object in Adafruit Fritzing library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nPCB EagleCAD files in GitHub\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48620783960286,"sku":"cfa1787257287771","price":3.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/0705\/9422\/files\/analog-uv-light-sensor-breakout---guva-s12sd_1.jpg?v=1787257296","url":"https:\/\/primewearfashion.shop\/products\/analog-uv-light-sensor-breakout-guva-s12sd","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
