APPLICATIONS
The LX1972 is a low cost silicon
light sensor with spectral response that
closely emulates the human eye.
Patented circuitry produces peak
spectral response at 520nm, with IR
response less than 鹵5%, of the peak
response, above 900nm.
The photo sensor is a PIN diode array
with a linear, accurate, and very
repeatable current transfer function.
High gain current mirrors on the chip
multiply the PIN diode photo-current
to a sensitivity level that can be
voltage scaled with a standard value
external resistor. Output current from
this simple to use two-pin device can
be used directly or converted to a
voltage by placing it in series with a
single resistor at either of its two pins.
Dynamic range is determined by the
resistors (typically in the range of 10K
to 100K) and power supply values.
Typically the LX1972 needs only 1.8V
of headroom to operate at 1000 Lux
illumination.
Internal temperature compensation
allows dark current to be kept below
200nA over the full specification
temperature range (-40 to +85擄C),
providing high accuracy at low light
levels. Usable ambient light conditions
range is from 1 to more than 5000 Lux.
The LX1972 is optimized for
controlling back lighting systems in low
cost consumer products such as LCD
TV, portable computers, and digital
cameras.
