Just like the human eye

The SFH 5711 perceives brightness in exactly the same way as the human eye. Even small changes in light can be detected accurately. This allows for light adjustment in tiny steps (nearly continous dimming), so that devices controlled by the SFH 5711 are always visible.

Precision and cost-saving

The SFH 5711 has a logarithmic output to ensure maximum precision over the complete range of brightness levels: from darkness to sunshine. It is far superior to the results achieved with linear sensors. Linear output systems switch back and forth between various resolutions using different resistances. With the SFH 5711, which dispenses with the so-called "resistor grid for gain
