The TSL2560 and TSL2561 are light-to-digital converters that transform light intensity to a digital signal output capable of direct I2C (TSL2561) or SMBus (TSL2560) interface. Each device combines one broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared) and one infrared-responding photodiode on a single CMOS integrated circuit capable of providing a near-photopic 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.
This document provides an overview and user guide for the Light-to-Frequency Converter Evaluation Module, which allows evaluation of TAOS family of light-to-frequency converter optical sensors. The module interfaces with a host PC via a USB port and comes with device-specific daughterboards and LED light sources for versatile sensor evaluation.
This document provides a designer's notebook for the TSL1401R intelligent opto sensor. The product is designed for portable, high-performance applications, operates at a voltage range of 3V to 5.5V, has rail-to-rail output voltage swing, improved dark-signal non-uniformity, and higher speed operation. The document summarizes the major differences between the TSL1401 and TSL1401R and provides system considerations for a smooth transition.
This news release introduces TAOS's TSL257 optical converter, which provides high sensitivity, low noise and positive offset without sacrificing speed. The converter is integrated in a small, single monolithic IC and is well suited for smoke, mark and color detection applications as well as in proximity sensors and ambient light systems for contrast control.
The TRS1722, TRS1755, and TRS1766 are high-sensitivity reflective color sensors in red (630 nm), green (567 nm), and blue (470 nm) โ respectively โ with light-to-voltage converters.
