It uses the ML8511 sensor with an integrated photodiode and amplifier to convert detected UV intensity into a proportional analog voltage, allowing easy connection to a microcontroller’s analog input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module detects wavelengths from approximately 280 nm to 390 nm, covering the UV-B spectrum and most of the UV-A spectrum. Its maximum sensitivity is around 365 nm. The analog output can be processed by Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, STM32 and other ADC-compatible development boards to estimate UV intensity or create a UV index monitoring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe breakout board provides VIN, 3V3, GND, OUT and EN connections. Its enable pin supports active and power-saving standby operation, making it suitable for portable, battery-powered and IoT applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eML8511 ultraviolet light sensor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetects both UV-A and UV-B radiation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensitive wavelength range: approximately 280–390 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum sensitivity wavelength: approximately 365 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProportional analog voltage output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModule working voltage: DC 3.3V–5V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eML8511 sensor operating voltage: 2.7V–3.6V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical sensor operating current: approximately 300 µA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical standby current: approximately 0.1 µA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in signal amplification circuit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEN pin for active and standby control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact breakout-board design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy connection to ADC-enabled microcontrollers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for indoor and outdoor UV monitoring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV index monitoring projects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunlight intensity detection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun-exposure warning devices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortable ultraviolet meters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeather monitoring stations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental monitoring systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWearable electronics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmart agriculture projects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolar radiation monitoring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArduino and ESP32 projects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIoT-based weather systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchool and college science projects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: This module provides an analog voltage corresponding to UV intensity.
