| What is cds? What does CDS mean? |
* Answer
| In electronics, CDS usually refers to a cadmium sulfide (CdS) photoresistor, also known as a light-dependent resistor (LDR) or photocell. Its resistance changes with the amount of light it receives: resistance is high in the dark and decreases as light intensity increases.
CDS photoresistors are commonly used in light-sensing applications such as automatic lighting, brightness detection, and camera exposure control. |
