UV click with VEML6075

Hi there,

this quite new chip has lots of advantages compared to the already existing click board with the ML8511.

It has a digital I²C output
16 bit resolution per channel
UVA & UVB are measured separately !!!
temperature compensation
2.0 x 1.25 x 1.0 mm in size
& the price - just 1.29525 US$ (single unit price if ordering 1000 chips)

the ML8511 costs 3.08560 US$
this chip has an analog output so you need an ADC & a voltage reference
(both is provided by some MCUs but resolution & accuracy ...)
4.0 x 3.7 x 0.73 mm in size
