OKI (OKI) to launch the built-in operational amplifier ultraviolet (UV) sensor IC – ML8511. The use of silicon coated product (SOI) on the insulating -CMOS, the company’s first analog voltage output, no filter UV sensor.

OKI’s UV sensor IC is easy thanks to the high degree of integration of SOI-CMOS technology, suitable for digital and analog circuits. OKI, said the company’s future will utilize this expertise to strengthen the connection of the microprocessor digital output circuit, and then with the brightness control sensor sensing type (Ambient Light Sensor) constitute a single chip lineup of merchandise; hope not only to future products done for the day at a glance the amount of UV, and ready to grasp the degree of risk decorative UV measurement equipment, and will promote the application to appliances, portable field equipment.

ML8511 UV light can be used with an analog voltage output proportional to the amount. Since the output voltage can therefore be directly connected to the MCU built A / D digital / analog converter, no photoelectric converting circuit. And the use of small, low-profile surface-mount package, suitable for use in portable devices.
