This is the VEML6075 Sensor a UVA (Ultraviolet A) and UVB (Ultraviolet B) light sensor a pack with photodiode, amplifier, and analog / digital circuit into a small chip OPLGA (Optical Land Grid Array ) using CMOS process. This device can measure and detects UV A and UV B intensity to provide a measurement of the signal strength as well as allowing for UVI data acquisition. This device use i2C interface protocol at 16bit resolution for easy operation via a simple command format.
The VEML6075 provides an excellent temperature compensation capability for making the output stable under changing temperature. This device operates at 1.7v to 3.6v suited for handheld devices, notebook, medical instruments, industrial, and laboratory equipment’s. For more readings please refer to this link (How UV works) and the datasheet.
