Designing sensor systems can be quite challenging and time consuming, and producing them in volume is
often expensive due to long test cycles on costly production test equipment. IDT is pleased to add a range
of new sensors and sensor signal conditioning products to its portfolio. SSC ICs facilitate both design and
production of sensor interfaces by providing programmable, highly accurate, wide gain and quantization
functions combined with powerful, high-order digital correction and linearization algorithms.

Environmental Sensors
IDT optical sensors products offer UVA and UVB light sensing, ambient light sensing, RGB color sensing, and proximity sensing. The
ambient light sensor (ALS) and proximity sensor enable sophisticated display control in mobile devices. The RGB sensor improves
camera flash and picture quality, while the UV sensors provide accurate information about UVA and UVB exposure.
Measuring UVA and UVB Exposure for Improved Wellness
The risks associated with UV rays, whether getting too much or too little, are well-documented. Overexposure can lead to skin
cancer, and underexposure can result in seasonal affect disorder (SAD) or low levels of Vitamin D. IDTs UV sensor ICs accurately
sense the UVA and UVB light spectrum, offering consumers a better understanding of their environment so they can monitor
and avoid risks associated with UV exposure. In addition to health and wellness applications, the sensor enables contextual
awareness in applications.
