The TEMT6000 sensor and the resistor form a voltage divider network as shown to the right.  As light intensity increases, the current flow also increases.  This causes the voltage drop across the 10K resistor to increase and so the voltage on the signal output increases towards Vcc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output voltage is fairly linear with the intensity of the illumination (lux) that is falling on the device. The range of reliable detection spans a low of 10 lux to a high of 1000 lux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog output of the module is typically input into the analog input on a microcontroller where it can be measure and act on.
