Description
The TSL2772 device family provides both ambient light sensing (ALS) and, when coupled with an external IR
LED, proximity detection. The device family is based on the TAOS patented dual-diode technology that enables
accurate ALS results and approximates human eye response to light intensity under a variety of lighting
conditions.
Te
c
The TSL2772 ALS includes a reduced-gain mode that extends the operating range to 60k lux in sunlight. The
device package incorporates a UV-rejection filter that enables accurate ALS. The TSL2772 proximity detection
includes improved signal-to-noise performance and selectable gain modes. A proximity offset register allows
compensation for optical system crosstalk between the IR LED and the sensor. To prevent false proximity data
measurement readings, a proximity saturation indicator bit signals that the internal analog circuitry has reached
saturation.

Detailed Description
The TSL2772 light-to-digital device provides on-chip photodiodes, integrating amplifiers, ADCs, accumulators,
clocks, buffers, comparators, a state machine, and an I
2
C interface. Each device combines a Channel 0
photodiode (CH0), which is responsive to both visible and infrared light, and a channel 1 photodiode (CH1),
which is responsive primarily to infrared light. Two integrating ADCs simultaneously convert the amplified
photodiode currents into a digital value providing up to 16 bits of resolution. Upon completion of the conversion
cycle, the conversion result is transferred to the data registers. This digital output can be read by a
microprocessor through which the illuminance (ambient light level) in Lux is derived using an empirical formula
to approximate the human eye response.
Communication to the device is accomplished through a fast (up to 400 kHz), two-wire I
2
C serial bus for easy
connection to a microcontroller or embedded controller. The digital output of the device is inherently more
immune to noise when compared to an analog interface.
The device provides a separate pin for level-style interrupts. When interrupts are enabled and a pre-set value
is exceeded, the interrupt pin is asserted and remains asserted until cleared by the controlling firmware. The
interrupt feature simplifies and improves system efficiency by eliminating the need to poll a sensor for a light
intensity or proximity value. An interrupt is generated when the value of an ALS or proximity conversion exceeds
either an upper or lower threshold. In addition, a programmable interrupt persistence feature allows the user
to determine how many consecutive exceeded thresholds are necessary to trigger an interrupt. Interrupt
thresholds and persistence settings are configured independently for both ALS and proximity.
Proximity detection requires only a single external IR LED. An internal LED driver can be configured to provide
a constant current sink of 15 mA, 30 mA, 60 mA, or 120 mA of current. No external current limiting resistor is
required. The power can also be reduced by a factor of 8 with the PDL bit. The number of proximity LED pulses
can be programmed from 1 to 255 pulses. Each pulse has a 16-μs period. The programmable LED current,
coupled with the programmable number of pulses, provides a 16,000:1 contiguous dynamic range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTES: 1. Optical measurements are made using small-angle incident radiation from light-emitting diode optical sources. Visible white LEDs
and infrared 850 nm LEDs are used for final product testing for compatibility with high-volume production.
2. The white LED irradiance is supplied by a white light-emitting diode with a nominal color temperature of 4000 K.
3. The 850 nm irradiance E
e
is supplied by a GaAs light-emitting diode with the following typical characteristics: peak wavelength
λp
= 850 nm and spectral halfwidth
Δλ½
= 42 nm.
4. Parameter ensured by design and is not tested.
