Overview
Der Ambient 12 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine zum Erfassen der Menge des vorhandenen Umgebungslichts. Diese Platine verfügt über den BH1620FVC, einen analogen Umgebungslichtsensor mit Stromausgang von Rohm Semiconductor. Er zeichnet sich durch eine spektrale Empfindlichkeit aus, die der des menschlichen Auges nahe kommt, und gibt Strom proportional zur Helligkeit aus. Er verfügt außerdem über vier konfigurierbare Betriebsmodi, einen Abschaltmodus in Verbindung mit drei Verstärkungsmodi und geringe Empfindlichkeitsschwankungen von +/-15 %. Dieses Click Board™ eignet sich am besten zum Erfassen von Umgebungslichtdaten zum Anpassen der Helligkeit in Anwendungen, bei denen Energieeinsparung und bessere Sichtbarkeit erforderlich sind.
Der Ambient 12 Click Board™ wird durch eine mikroSDK-kompatible Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.

How Does The Ambient 12 Click Board™ Work?
The Ambient 12 Click Board™ is based on the BH1620FVC, an analog current-output type ambient light sensor from Rohm Semiconductor. The BH1620FVC is composed of photodiodes, amplifiers, and current mirror circuits, where the output current, in proportion to brightness, is converted to the voltage value by an external resistor. It is characterized by spectral sensitivity close to human eyes sensitivity with low sensitivity variations of +/-15%.
It also has four configurable modes of operation, shutdown mode associated with three gain modes: high-gain mode with an illuminance detection range of 1000lx, medium-gain mode up to 10.000lx, and low-gain mode up to 100.000lx. The desire gain mode is selected through CS and PWM pins of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as GC1 and GC2.
The output voltage of the BH1620FVC can be converted to a digital value using MCP3221, a successive approximation A/D converter with a 12-bit resolution from Microchip, using a 2-wire I2C compatible interface, or can be sent directly to an analog pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as AN. Selection can be performed by onboard SMD jumper labelled as A/D SEL to an appropriate position marked as AN and ADC.
The Ambient 12 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VIO SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
