UG163: Si1133/Si1153 Optical Sensor
Evaluation Board User's Guide
The optical sensor expansion board is designed to allow customers to evaluate the
Si1133 UV/ALS sensor and other Si1153 sensors. A list of these sensors and their ca-
pabilities follows:
• UV/ALS—Si1133 sensor mounted with a demonstration light diffuser assembly.
• Long Range Proximity—Si1153-AA09 2X2 mm proximity sensing chip with an on-
die 940 nm bandpass filter for sunlight immunity. The Board demonstrates the use of
a 5 mm dia. lens and arrow-angle LED.
• Sunlight Immune Proximity Module—Si1153-AA09, 2.85 x 4.9 mm proximity sens-
ing module with an on-die 940 nm bandpass filter for sunlight immunity and an inte-
grated 940 nm LED.
• Proximity/ALS—Si1153-AA00, 2 x 2 mm light sensor chip. The Board uses a single
850 nm LED for demonstration purposes.
• Gesture/ALS—Si1153-AA00, 2 x 2 mm light sensor chip. The Board uses three 850
nm LEDs spaced roughly 50 mm apart for demonstration purposes.
The optical sensor expansion board is designed to allow customers to connect to the
sensors using two methods:
• Silicon Labs EFM series of EVBs with an expansion ports. e.g. EFM32WG-STK3800
(Wonder Gecko) or EFM32ZG-STK3200 Zero Gecko Starter Kits
• USB connectivity via the Optical Sensors Programmers Toolkit
Note: Simplicity Studio sample code will be available in Q2 2016.
