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.
