Description: The ML8511 breakout is an easy to use ultraviolet light sensor.The MP8511 UV (ultraviolet) Sensor works by outputing an analog signal in relation to the amount of UV light that’s detected.This breakout can be very handy in creating devices that warn the user of sunburn or detect the UV index as it relates to weather conditions.

This sensor detects 280-390nm light most effectively.This is categorized as part of the UVB (burning rays) spectrum and most of the UVA (tanning rays) spectrum.It outputs a analog voltage that is linearly related to the measured UV intensity (mW/cm2).If your microcontroller can do an analog to digital signal conversion then you can detect the level of UV!

OKI has launched a UV sensor IC with built-in operational amplifier - ML8511.This product uses a silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-CMOS technology and is the company's first analog voltage output, filter-free UV sensor.

ML8511 can output an analog voltage proportional to the amount of UV light. Since it can output voltage, it can be directly connected to the built-in MCU's A/D digital/analog converter without the need for a photoelectric conversion circuit. Moreover, it uses a small, thin surface-mount design, making it suitable for use in portable devices.
