AS7331 UVA/B/C Light Sensor Breakout

The AS7331 UV light sensor from AMS is an excellent device for measuring UV radiation in three of the four UV divisions, including UVA, UVB, and UVC. With its 16-bit resolution and low-power, low-noise design, the AS7331 UV light sensor can measure anything from a small 5 mW UVC LED to direct sunlight and everything in between. The sensor provides either raw counts or fully-calibrated fluence (uW/cm^2) for each of the three channels and is available by a burst read of data registers using simple serial I2C commands.

The AS7331 breakout board is small and easy to use, with all control pins exposed to the user, including VDD (3V3)/GND, I2C (SDA/SCL), A0/A1 for selecting I2C address for up to four sensors on the same bus, a data ready interrupt (RDY), and a sync pin (SYN) so two or more sensors can synchronize the timing. The breakout board is compatible with 3V3-compatible microcontrollers, and if you have to use a 5 V system, make sure to use a logic-level translator.

This sensor has a high (2.4 nW/cm^2) resolution and a large dynamic range (3.43 x 10^10), which makes it suitable for measuring solar UV variations in long-term environmental data logging devices. The AS7331 is the only UV light sensor that provides measurements beyond the usual UV index output, making it an excellent choice for researchers, scientists, and hobbyists who need to measure absolute radiative fluence (uW/cm^2) accurately.

One of the standout features of the AS7331 is its typical calibration data, which is included in the data sheet and has been incorporated into the Arduino sketch. This allows for the output to provide absolute radiative fluence (uW/cm^2) rather than just relative signal strength. The well-commented Arduino sketch shows how to configure the sensor, set up the data ready interrupt, power it down and up, and output both raw data counts and absolute fluence for all three channels.

In conclusion, the AS7331 UV light sensor from AMS is an excellent device for measuring UV radiation in three of the four UV divisions. Its small, easy-to-use breakout board makes measuring absolute UV radiation fluence with almost any I2C-capable microcontroller simple and intuitive. With its high resolution and large dynamic range, the AS7331 is a versatile and reliable sensor that is ideal for a wide range of applications, from environmental sensing to UV LED function testing.
