Description
The TSL230R−LF, TSL230AR−LF, and TSL230BR−LF programmable light-to-frequency converters combine
a configurable silicon photodiode and a current-to-frequency converter on single monolithic CMOS integrated
circuits. The output can be either a pulse train or a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly
proportional to light intensity. Device sensitivity is selectable in three ranges, providing two decades of
adjustment. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by one of four preset values. All inputs and the output
are TTL compatible, allowing direct two-way communication with a microcontroller for programming and output
interface. An output enable (OE) is provided that places the output in the high-impedance state for multiple-unit
sharing of a microcontroller input line.
The devices are available with absolute-output-frequency tolerances of
±
5% (TSL230BR−LF),
±
10%
(TSL230AR−LF), or
±20%
(TSL230R−LF). They have been temperature compensated for the
ultraviolet-to-visible light range of 320 nm to 700 nm and respond over the light range of 320 nm to 1050 nm.
The devices are characterized over the temperature range of
−25°C
to 70°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Power-supply considerations
Power-supply lines must be decoupled by a 0.01-μF to 0.1-μF capacitor with short leads placed close to the
device package. A low-noise power supply is required to minimize jitter on output pulses.
Input interface
A low-impedance electrical connection between the device OE pin and the device GND pin is required for
improved noise immunity.
Output interface
The output of the device is designed to drive a standard TTL or CMOS logic input over short distances. If lines
greater than 12 inches are used on the output, a buffer or line driver is recommended.
Sensitivity adjustment
Sensitivity is controlled by two logic inputs, S0 and S1. Sensitivity is adjusted using an electronic iris technique
— effectively an aperture control — to change the response of the device to a given amount of light. The
sensitivity can be set to one of three levels: 1×, 10×, or 100×, providing two decades of adjustment. This allows
the responsivity of the device to be optimized to a given light level while preserving the full-scale
output-frequency range. Changing of sensitivity also changes the effective photodiode area by the same factor.
