description
The TSL220 consists of a large-area photodiode and a current-to-frequency converter. The output voltage is
a pulse train and its frequency is directly proportional to the light intensity (irradiance) on the photodiode. The
output is CMOS† compatible and its frequency may be measured using pulse counting, period timing, or
integration techniques. The TSL220 is ideal for light-sensing applications requiring wide dynamic range, high
sensitivity, and high noise immunity. The output frequency range is determined by an external capacitor; hence,
the desired output frequency is adjustable for a given light intensity at the input. The TSL220 is characterized
for operation over the temperature range of – 25°C to 70°C.
mechanical data
The photodiode and current-to-frequency converter are packaged in a clear plastic 8-pin dual-in-line package.
The active chip area is typically 4,13 mm2 (0.0064 in2).
