Product details

Overview

VEML6031X00-SB from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount ambient light sensor (ALS) evaluation board built around the VEML6031X00 IC, featuring I²C interface, 16-bit resolution, programmable interrupt thresholds, and 3.3 V operation. It enables precise illuminance measurement in consumer electronics displays and industrial HMI panels.

For engineers reviewing the VEML6031X00-SB datasheet, VEML6031X00-SB pinout, VEML6031X00-SB application, or VEML6031X00-SB equivalent, this board provides validated hardware for rapid ALS integration, register-level I²C control, interrupt-driven event detection, and real-time lux/counts data streaming via SensorXplorer GUI.

Technical Context

The VEML6031X00-SB is a pre-assembled sensor evaluation board-not an IC-designed to interface directly with Vishay's SensorXplorer USB-to-I²C platform or custom host controllers. It implements the VEML6031X00 ALS IC in SMD package with onboard 100 nF decoupling capacitor, 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor on SDA/SCL, and edge connector for plug-and-play evaluation.

It supports standard I²C slave address 0x29 (default), with option 0x10 available for compatibility with VEML60311X00 variants. Timing parameters include AF wait time scaling with ALS integration time (e.g., 3.125 ms to 480 ms) and configurable AF delay for measurement rate control.

FAQ

What is the VEML6031X00-SB used for?

The VEML6031X00-SB is an evaluation board for the VEML6031X00 ambient light sensor IC. It enables rapid testing of illuminance measurement, interrupt configuration, and I²C register access-either standalone or with Vishay's SensorXplorer kit. The board is not a sensor IC itself but a ready-to-use hardware platform for validating ALS functionality in real designs.

Does the VEML6031X00-SB require external pull-up resistors?

When used with Vishay's SensorXplorer, the VEML6031X00-SB does not require external pull-ups-the host board provides them. When interfacing with a custom I²C master, external 2.4 kΩ to 10 kΩ pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines are mandatory, as stated in the official Sensor Board Guide (Doc. #80303).

What I²C addresses does the VEML6031X00-SB support?

The VEML6031X00-SB ships with standard I²C slave address 0x29. The alternate address 0x10 is provided as a hardware option for use when replacing the board with the VEML60311X00 variant-confirmed in the Sensor Board Guide revision 1.1 (Oct. 2025), Figure 7.

Can the VEML6031X00-SB operate at 5 V?

No. The VEML6031X00-SB is designed exclusively for 3.3 V operation. Its onboard VEML6031X00 IC and supporting circuitry (including R1, R2, C1) are rated for 3.3 V supply only. Applying 5 V risks permanent damage to the sensor IC and board components.

How is the VEML6031X00-SB powered during evaluation?

The VEML6031X00-SB receives power through its 2×8 edge connector (J1) when mated with the SensorXplorer evaluation kit, which supplies regulated 3.3 V. For standalone use, external 3.3 V must be applied to the VDD and GND pins of J1-no onboard voltage regulation is present.
