## Description

An analog UV light sensor breakout based on the GUVA-S12SD photodiode, detecting the 240–370nm range covering UVB and most of the UVA spectrum. An on-board op-amp amplifies the tiny photodiode current to a readable voltage level, making it simple to connect to any microcontroller's analog input. Unlike more complex I2C UV sensors, this module provides a straightforward analog voltage output — just power it, read the voltage, and convert to UV Index. Power the sensor with 2.7–5.5V DC and read the analog signal from the OUT pin. Key Features True UV Photodiode – Detects 240–370nm (UVA and UVB) Analog Output – Simple voltage output, no I2C configuration needed On-Board Op-Amp – Amplifies nano-ampere photodiode current to readable voltage levels Wide Supply Range – 2.7V to 5.5V operation UV Index Conversion – Output voltage ÷ 0.1V = approximate UV Index Specifications Sensor – GUVA-S12SD UV photodiode Detection Range – 240–370nm (UVA/UVB) Output – Analog voltage (Vo = 4.3 × diode current in µA) Supply Voltage – 2.7V to 5.5V UV Index Formula – UV Index ≈ Vout ÷ 0.1V Ideal For UV exposure monitoring and sun safety projects Weather stations and environmental data logging UV curing and sterilisation monitoring Arduino and microcontroller sensor projects Note: Standard 400nm UV LEDs are outside this sensor's detection range and cannot be used for testing. Use a UV tanning lamp or reptile lamp for testing. Package Contents 1× GUVA-S12SD Analog UV Light Sensor Breakout
