Description
The TSL2562 and TSL2563 are low-voltage
light-to-digital converters that transform light
intensity to a digital signal output capable of direct
I
2
C (TSL2563) or SMBus (TSL2562) interface.
Each device combines one broadband photo-
diode (visible plus infrared) and one infrared-re-
sponding photodiode on a single CMOS inte-
grated circuit capable of providing a near-photop-
ic response over an effective 20-bit dynamic
range (16-bit resolution). Two integrating ADCs
convert the photodiode currents to a digital output
that represents the irradiance measured on each
channel. This digital output can be input to a
microprocessor where illuminance (ambient light
level) in lux is derived using an empirical formula
to approximate the human eye response. The
TSL2562 device permits an SMB-Alert style
interrupt, and the TSL2563 device supports a
traditional level style interrupt that remains
asserted until the firmware clears it.
While useful for general purpose light sensing applications, the TSL2562/63 devices are designed particularly
for display panels (LCD, OLED, etc.) with the purpose of extending battery life and providing optimum viewing
in diverse lighting conditions. Display panel backlighting, which can account for up to 30 to 40 percent of total
platform power, can be automatically managed. Both devices are also ideal for controlling keyboard illumination
based upon ambient lighting conditions. Illuminance information can further be used to manage exposure
control in digital cameras. The TSL2562/63 devices are ideal in notebook/tablet PCs, LCD monitors, flat-panel
televisions, cell phones, and digital cameras. In addition, other applications include street light control, security
lighting, sunlight harvesting, machine vision, and automotive instrumentation clusters.

Detailed Description
The TSL2562 and TSL2563 are second-generation ambient light sensor devices. Each contains two integrating
analog-to-digital converters (ADC) that integrate currents from two photodiodes. Integration of both channels
occurs simultaneously. Upon completion of the conversion cycle, the conversion result is transferred to the
Channel 0 and Channel 1 data registers, respectively. The transfers are double-buffered to ensure that the
integrity of the data is maintained. After the transfer, the device automatically begins the next integration cycle.
Communication to the device is accomplished through a standard, two-wire SMBus or I
2
C serial bus.
Consequently, the TSL256x device can be easily connected to a microcontroller or embedded controller. No
external circuitry is required for signal conditioning, thereby saving PCB real estate as well. Since the output
of the TSL256x device is digital, the output is effectively immune to noise when compared to an analog signal.
The TSL256x devices also support an interrupt feature that simplifies and improves system efficiency by
eliminating the need to poll a sensor for a light intensity value. The primary purpose of the interrupt function is
to detect a meaningful change in light intensity. The concept of a meaningful change can be defined by the user
both in terms of light intensity and time, or persistence, of that change in intensity. The TSL256x devices have
the ability to define a threshold above and below the current light level. An interrupt is generated when the value
of a conversion exceeds either of these limits.
