Manufacturer Documentation
Technical values were checked against Broadcom documentation. Use the linked datasheet as the controlling source and re-check revisions before PCB release or firmware qualification.
APDS-9930 selection and design context
APDS-9930 is cataloged as a Optical Sensor in the APDS-9930 family. Its recorded function is digital ambient-light and proximity sensor with infrared LED. Selection should be based on the complete electrical limits, package drawing and ordering suffix rather than the abbreviated family code.
- Functions: Ambient light and proximity sensing. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Interface: I²C. Confirm logic levels, signaling mode, host support and required external components.
- Supply Voltage: 2.2 V to 3.6 V. Check rail compatibility, tolerance and sequencing under worst-case conditions.
- Proximity Range: Up to approximately 100 mm. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
Application and qualification considerations
When evaluating this sensor, confirm measurement range, sensitivity, noise, output data rate, interface voltage, calibration needs and mechanical orientation. For a new design, review power-up behavior, interface timing, absolute maximum ratings, thermal limits and any external-component requirements in the latest manufacturer documentation. Existing-board replacement work should additionally confirm pinout, footprint, firmware assumptions and qualification grade.
Procurement checks for APDS-9930
