Overview

Description

The QCIOT-ISL76682POCZ Automotive Light Sensor (ALS) board demonstrates the functionality and performance of the ISL76682 light-to-digital sensor. The ISL76682 is a low-power, high-sensitivity, integrated light sensor with an I²C (SMBus compatible) interface. The generic design of the ALS board allows customers to embed the light sensor into their specific applications.

The board provides a standard Pmod™ Type 6A (Extended I²C) connection for the onboard sensor to plug into any MCU evaluation kit with a matching interface/connector. It features Pmod connectors on both sides of the board allowing additional Type 6/6A boards to be connected in a daisy-chained solution with multiple sensors on the same MCU Pmod connector. With its standard connector and software support, the QCIOT-ISL76682POCZ ALS board is ideal for rapidly creating an IoT system using the Renesas QuickConnect tools.
