Description
The TSL230RD programmable light-to-frequency converter combines a configurable silicon photodiode and a
current-to-frequency converter on single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The output can be either a pulse
train or a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity. Device sensitivity
is selectable in three ranges, providing two decades of adjustment. The full-scale output frequency can be
scaled by one of four preset values. All inputs and the output are TTL compatible, allowing direct two-way
communication with a microcontroller for programming and output interface. The output enable (OE) places the
output in the high-impedance state for multiple-unit sharing of a microcontroller input line.
The device has been temperature compensated for the ultraviolet-to-visible light range of 320 nm to 700 nm
and responds over the light range of 320 nm to 1050 nm. It is characterized over the temperature range of -25°C
to 70°C.
