The design of the LX1972 Mini Light Sensor Evaluation Board easily
interfaces to allow control of virtually any lighting requirement. Changing the
resistor values sets the desired minimum and maximum brightness range. As
configured, there is considerable gain at lower light levels (from < 1lux to about
300lux with a 5V VDD). Output voltage is ground referenced (as configured
VO2) or moving the jumper from J1 to J2 changes the voltage reference to
VDD at VO1. The J1 and J2 locations also allow placing a second resistor in
parallel to modify the light conversion gain; this will allow a wider light range
(with less overall resolution).
VDD = 3V to 5.5V
VO1 = ISNK × R1 (if J1 Open)
VO2 = ISRC × R2
If VDD = 5V then :
@ Total Dark VO2 <10mV
@ 300 lux VO2 ≈ 3V
