Light-to-Digital Output Sensor with Gain Selection, Interrupt Function and I2C Interface ISL76683 Features The ISL76683 is an integrated light sensor with an internal integrating ADC intended for automotive applications. The ADC provides 16-bit resolution and is capable of rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by artificial light sources. The I2C interface provides four user programmable lux sensitivity ranges for optimized counts/lux in a variety of lighting conditions. In addition, the I2C interface provides multi-function control of the sensor and remote monitoring capabilities. * Range select via I2C - Range 1 = 0 lux to 1000 lux - Range 2 = 0 lux to 4000 lux - Range 3 = 0 lux to 16,000 lux - Range 4 = 0 lux to 64,000 lux * Human Eye Response (540nm Peak Sensitivity) * Temperature Compensated In normal operation, power consumption is less than 300A. Furthermore, a software power-down mode controlled via the I2C interface reduces power consumption to less than 1A. * 16-bit Resolution * Adjustable Sensitivity: up to 65 Counts per Lux The ISL76683 supports twin (upper & lower) user programmed thresholds and provides a hardware interrupt that remains asserted low until the host clears it via the I2C control interface. * User-programmable Upper and Lower Threshold Interrupt Designed to operate on supplies from 2.5V to 3.3V, the ISL76683 is qualified to AECQ100 and specified for operation over the -40C to +105C (grade 2) ambient temperature range. To achieve this, the ISL76683 is packaged in a special extended temperature clear package. * 50Hz/60Hz Rejection * Simple Output Code, Directly Proportional to Lux * IR + UV Rejection * 2.5V to 3.3V Supply * 6 Ld ODFN (2.1mmx2mm) * Pb-free (RoHS compliant) Applications * Automotive Ambient Light Sensing * Backlight Control * Lighting Controls VDD 1 MUX SHDN INT TIME GAIN/RANGE MODE PHOTODIODE 1 COMMAND REGISTER INTEGRATING ADC DATA REGISTER PHOTODIODE 2 IREF FOSC 5 SCL 6 SDA I2C EXT TIMING INT 216 INTERRUPT 4 INT COUNTER 3 REXT 2 GND ISL76683 FIGURE 1.

OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY vs TEMPERATURE FN7697.3 September 5, 2012 ISL76683 Principles of Operation Interrupt Function Photodiodes The active low interrupt pin is an open drain pull-down configuration. The interrupt pin serves as an alarm or monitoring function to determine whether the ambient light exceeds the upper threshold or goes below the lower threshold. The user can also configure the persistency of the interrupt pin. This eliminates any false triggers, such as noise or sudden spikes in ambient light conditions. An unexpected camera flash, for example, can be ignored by setting the persistency to 8 integration cycles. The ISL76683 contains two photodiodes. Diode1 is sensitive to both visible and infrared light, while Diode2 is mostly sensitive to infrared light. The spectral response of the two diodes are independent from one another. See Figure 2 "Spectral Response" in the "Typical Performance Curves" section. The photodiodes convert light to current then the diodes' current outputs are converted to digital by a single built-in integrating type 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). An I2C command mode determines which photodiode will be converted to a digital signal. Mode1 is Diode1 only. Mode2 is Diode2 only. Mode3 is a sequential Mode1 and Mode2 with an internal subtract function (Diode1 - Diode2). Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) The converter is a charge-balancing integrating type 16-bit ADC. The chosen method for conversion is best for converting small current signals in the presence of AC periodic noise. A 100ms integration time, for instance, highly rejects 50Hz and 60Hz power line noise simultaneously. See "Integration Time or Conversion Time" on page 11 and "Noise Rejection" on page 12. The built-in ADC offers the user flexibility in integration time or conversion time. Two timing modes are available; Internal Timing Mode and External Timing Mode. In Internal Timing Mode, integration time is determined by an internal dual speed oscillator (fOSC), and the n-bit (n = 4, 8, 12, 16) counter inside the ADC. In External Timing Mode, integration time is determined by the time between two consecutive I2C External Timing Mode commands. See "External Timing Mode" on page 10. A good balancing act of integration time and resolution depending on the application is required for optimal results. The ADC has four I2C programmable range selects to dynamically accommodate various lighting conditions. For very dim conditions, the ADC can be configured at its lowest range. For very bright conditions, the ADC can be configured at its highest range. 6 I2C Interface There are eight (8) 8-bit registers available inside the ISL76683. The command and control registers define the operation of the device. The command and control registers do not change until the registers are overwritten. There are two 8-bit registers that set the high and low interrupt thresholds. There are four 8-bit data Read Only registers; two bytes for the sensor reading and another two bytes for the timer counts. The data registers contain the ADC's latest digital output, and the number of clock cycles in the previous integration period. The ISL76683's I2C interface slave address is hardwired internally as 1000100. When 1000100x with x as R or W is sent after the Start condition, this device compares the first seven bits of this byte to its address and matches. Figure 12 shows a sample one-byte read. Figure 13 shows a sample one-byte write. Figure 14 shows a sync_iic timing diagram sample for externally controlled integration time. The I2C bus master always drives the SCL (clock) line, while either the master or the slave can drive the SDA (data) line. Figure 13 shows a sample write. Every I2C transaction begins with the master asserting a start condition (SDA falling while SCL remains high). The following byte is driven by the master and includes the slave address and read/write bit. The receiving device is responsible for pulling SDA low during the acknowledgement period. Every I2C transaction ends with the master asserting a stop condition (SDA rising while SCL remains high). For more information about the I2C standard, please consult the Philips(R) I2C specification documents.

This function controls the mux attached to the two photodiodes. At Mode1, the mux directs the current of Diode1 to the ADC. At Mode2, the mux directs the current of Diode2 only to the ADC. Mode3 is a sequential Mode1 and Mode2 with an internal subtract function (Diode1 - Diode2). TABLE 6. PHOTODIODE SELECT MODE; BITS 2 AND 3 BITS 3:2 MODE 0:0 MODE1.

Width; Bits 1 and 0. This function determines the number of clock cycles per conversion. Changing the number of clock cycles does more than just change the resolution of the device; it also changes the integration time, which is the period the device's analog-to-digital (A/D) converter samples the photodiode current signal for a lux measurement.

Specifically, the user should first send I2C command with Bit 7 = 0 and then send I2C command with Bit 6 = 1. 3. Timing Mode; Bit 5. This function determines whether the integration time is done internally or externally. In Internal Timing Mode, integration time is determined by an internal dual speed oscillator (fOSC), and the n-bit (n = 4, 8, 12,16) counter inside the ADC. In External Timing Mode, integration time is determined by the time between two consecutive external-sync sync_iic pulse commands. TABLE 5. TIMING MODE BIT 5 OPERATION 0 Internal Timing Mode. Integration time is internally timed determined by fOSC, REXT, and number of clock cycles. 1 External Timing Mode. Integration time is externally timed by the I2C host. 9 Control Register 01(hex) The Read/Write control register has three functions: 1. Interrupt flag; Bit 5. This is the status bit of the interrupt. The bit is set to logic high when the interrupt thresholds have been triggered, and logic low when not yet triggered. TABLE 8. INTERRUPT FLAG BIT 5 OPERATION 0 Interrupt is cleared or not triggered yet 1 Interrupt is triggered FN7697.3 September 5, 2012 ISL76683 2. Range/Gain; Bits 3 and 2. The Full Scale Range can be adjusted by an external resistor REXT and/or it can be adjusted via I2C using the Gain/Range function. Gain/Range has four possible values, Range(k) where k is 1 through 4. Table 9 lists the possible values of Range(k) and the resulting FSR for some typical value REXT resistors. TABLE 9. RANGE/GAIN TYPICAL FSR LUX RANGES BITS 3:2 k RANGE (k) FSR LUX RANGE@ REXT = 100k 0:0 1 973 973 1946 195 0:1 2 3892 3892 7784 778 1:0 3 15,568 15,568 31,136 3114 1:1 4 62,272 62,272 124,544 12,454 FSR LUX RANGE@ REXT = 50k FSR LUX RANGE@ REXT = 500k 3. Interrupt persist; Bits 1 and 0. The interrupt pin and the interrupt flag is triggered/set when the data sensor reading is out of the interrupt threshold window after m consecutive number of integration cycles. The interrupt persist bits determine m. TABLE 10. INTERRUPT PERSIST BITS 1:0 NUMBER OF INTEGRATION CYCLES 0:0 1 0:1 4 1:0 8 1:1 16 Interrupt Threshold HI Register 02(hex) This register sets the HI threshold for the interrupt pin and the interrupt flag. By default, the Interrupt threshold HI is FF(hex). The 8-bit data written to the register represents the upper MSB of a 16-bit value. The LSB is always 00(hex). Interrupt Threshold LO Register 03(hex) This register sets the LO threshold for the interrupt pin and the interrupt flag. By default, the Interrupt threshold LO is 00(hex). The 8-bit data written to the register represents the upper MSB of a 16-bit value. The LSB is always 00(hex). Sensor Data Register 04(hex) and 05(hex) cannot provide high-accuracy command-to-command timing, and the timer counter value can be used to eliminate the resulting noise. TABLE 11. DATA REGISTERS ADDRESS (hex) CONTENTS 04 Least-significant byte of most recent sensor reading. 05 Most-significant byte of most recent sensor reading. 06 Least-significant byte of timer counter value corresponding to most recent sensor reading. 07 Most-significant byte of timer counter value corresponding to most recent sensor reading. Calculating Lux The ISL76683's output codes, DATA, are directly proportional to lux. E = x DATA (EQ. 1) The proportionality constant is determined by the Full Scale Range, FSR, and the n-bit ADC, which is user defined in the command register. The proportionality constant can also be viewed as the resolution; The smallest lux measurement the device can measure is . FSR = ----------n 2 (EQ. 2) Full Scale Range, FSR, is determined by the software programmable Range/Gain, Range(k), in the command register and an external scaling resistor REXT which is referenced to 100k. (EQ. 3) 100k FSR = Range ( k ) x ------------------R EXT The transfer function effectively for each timing mode becomes: INTERNAL TIMING MODE 100k Range ( k ) x ------------------R EXT E = ---------------------------------------------------- x DATA n 2 (EQ. 4) EXTERNAL TIMING MODE 100k Range ( k ) x ------------------R EXT E = ---------------------------------------------------- x DATA COUNTER (EQ. 5) n = 4, 8, 12, or 16. This is the number of clock cycles programmed in the command register. When the device is configured to output a 16-bit data, the least significant byte is accessed at 04(hex), and the most significant byte can be accessed at 05(hex). The sensor data register is refreshed after every integration cycle. Range(k) is the user defined range in the Gain/Range bit in the command register. Timer Data Register 06(hex) and 07(hex) DATA is the output sensor reading in number of counts available at the data register. Note that the timer counter value is only available when using the External Timing Mode. The 06(hex) and 07(hex) are the LSB and MSB respectively of a 16-bit timer counter value corresponding to the most recent sensor reading. Each clock cycle increments the counter. At the end of each integration period, the value of this counter is made available over the I2C. This value can be used to eliminate noise introduced by slight timing errors caused by imprecise external timing. Microcontrollers, for example, often 10 REXT is an external scaling resistor hardwired to the REXT pin. 2n represents the maximum number of counts possible in Internal Timing Mode. For the External Timing Mode, the maximum number of counts is stored in the data register named COUNTER. COUNTER is the number increments accrued for between integration time for External Timing Mode. FN7697.3 September 5, 2012 ISL76683 Gain/Range, Range (k) The Gain/Range can be programmed in the control register to give Range (k) determining the FSR. Note that Range(k) is not the FSR (see Equation 3). Range(k) provides four constants depending on programmed k that will be scaled by REXT (see Table 9). Unlike REXT, Range(k) dynamically adjusts the FSR. This function is especially useful when light conditions are varying drastically while maintaining excellent resolution. Number of Clock Cycles, n-bit ADC The number of clock cycles determines "n" in the n-bit ADC; 2n clock cycles is a n-bit ADC. n is programmable in the command register in the width function. Depending on the application, a good balance of speed and resolution has to be considered when deciding for n. For fast and quick measurement, choose the smallest n = 4. For maximum resolution without regard of time, choose n = 16. Table 12 compares the trade-off between integration time and resolution. See Equations 10 and 11 for the relation between integration time and n. See Equation 3 for the relation of n and resolution. TABLE 12. RESOLUTION AND INTEGRATION TIME SELECTION RANGE1 fOSC = 327kHz RANGE4 fOSC = 655kHz Integration Time or Conversion Time Integration time is the period during which the device's analogto-digital ADC converter samples the photodiode current signal for a lux measurement. Integration time, in other words, is the time to complete the conversion of analog photodiode current into a digital signal (number of counts). Integration time affects the measurement resolution. For better resolution, use a longer integration time. For short and fast conversions use a shorter integration time. The ISL76683 offers user flexibility in the integration time to balance resolution, speed and noise rejection. Integration time can be set internally or externally and can be programmed in the command register 00(hex) bit 5. INTEGRATION TIME IN INTERNAL TIMING MODE This timing mode is programmed in the command register 00(hex) bit 5. Most applications will be using this timing mode. When using the Internal Timing Mode, fOSC and n-bits resolution determine the integration time. tint is a function of the number of clock cycles and fOSC. tINT (ms) RESOLUTION LUX/COUNT tINT (ms) 16 200 0.01 100 1 12 12.8 0.24 6.4 16 n = 4, 8, 12, and 16. n is the number of bits of resolution. Therefore, 2n is the number of clock cycles. n can be programmed at the command register 00(hex) bits 1 and 0. n RESOLUTION (LUX/COUNT) The automatic fOSC adjustment feature allows significant improvement of signal-to-noise ratio when detecting very low lux signals. 8 0.8 3.90 0.4 250 4 0.05 62.5 0.025 4000 REXT = 100k (EQ. 9) for Internal Timing Mode only Since fOSC is dual speed depending on the Gain/Range bit, tint is dual time. The integration time as a function of REXT and n is: External Scaling Resistor REXT and fosc The ISL76683 uses an external resistor REXT to fix its internal oscillator frequency, fOSC. Consequently, REXT determines the fOSC, integration time and the FSR of the device. fOSC, a dual speed mode oscillator, is inversely proportional to REXT. For user simplicity, the proportionality constant is referenced to fixed constants 100k and 655kHz: 1 100k fosc1 = --- x ------------------- x 655 kHz 2 R EXT (EQ. 6) 100k fosc2 = ------------------- x 655 kHz R EXT (EQ. 7) fOSC1 is oscillator frequency when Range1 or Range2 are set. This is nominally 327kHz when REXT is 100k. fOSC2 is the oscillator frequency when Range3 or Range4 are set. This is nominally 655kHz when REXT is 100k. When the Range/Gain bits are set to Range1 or Range2, fOSC runs at half speed compared to when Range/Gain bits are set to Range3 and Range4.

External Timing Mode is recommended when integration time can be synchronized to an external signal (such as a PWM) to eliminate noise. Using Internal Timing Mode For Mode1 or Mode2 operation, the integration starts when the sync_iic command is sent over the I2C lines. The device needs two sync_iic commands to complete a photodiode conversion. The integration then stops when another sync_iic command is received. Writing a logic 1 to the sync_iic bit ends the current ADC integration and starts another one. t int = i ( 1 60Hz ) = j ( 1 50Hz ) For Mode3, the operation is a sequential Mode1 and Mode2. The device needs three sync_iic commands to complete two photodiode measurements. The 1st sync_iic command starts the conversion of the Diode1. The 2nd sync_iic completes the conversion of Diode1 and starts the conversion of Diode2. The 3rd sync_iic pulse ends the conversion of Diode2 and starts over again to commence conversion of Diode1. The integration time, tint, is determined by Equation 12: iI 2 C t int = ---------fI 2 C (EQ. 12) (EQ. 14) The first instance of integer values at which tint rejects both 60Hz and 50Hz is when i = 6, and j = 5. t int = 6 ( 1 60Hz ) = 5 ( 1 50Hz ) (EQ. 15) t int = 100ms Next, the Gain/Range needs to be determined. Based on the application condition given, lux(max) = 500 lux, a range of 1000 lux is desirable. This corresponds to a Gain/Range Range1 mode. Also impose a resolution of n = 16-bit. Hence, we choose Equation 10 to determine REXT. t int x 327kHz x 100 k R EXT = -------------------------------------------------------------n 2 (EQ. 16) R EXT = 50k iI2C is the number of I2C clock cycles to obtain the tint. fI2C is the I2C operating frequency. for Internal Timing Mode and Gain/Range is set to Range3 or Range4 only The internal oscillator, fOSC, operates identically in both the internal and external timing modes, with the same dependence on REXT. However, in External Timing Mode, the number of clock cycles per integration is no longer fixed at 2n. The number of clock cycles varies with the chosen integration time, and is limited to 216 = 65,536. In order to avoid erroneous lux readings, the integration time must be short enough not to allow an overflow in the counter register. 65,535 t int < ------------------f OSC In order to achieve both 60Hz and 50Hz AC noise rejection, the integration time needs to be adjusted to coincide with an integer multiple of the AC noise cycle times. (EQ. 13) fOSC = 327kHz*100k/REXT. When Range/Gain is set to Range1 or Range2. fOSC = 655kHz*100k/REXT. When Range/Gain is set to Range3 or Range4. Noise Rejection In general, integrating type ADC's have excellent noise-rejection characteristics for periodic noise sources whose frequency is an integer multiple of the integration time. For instance, a 60Hz AC unwanted signal's sum from 0ms to k*16.66ms (k = 1,2...ki) is zero. Similarly, setting the device's integration time to be an integer multiple of the periodic noise signal greatly improves the light sensor output signal in the presence of noise. The Full Scale Range, FSR, needs to be determined from Equation 3: 100k FSR = 1000 lux ------------------50k (EQ. 17) FSR = 2000 lux The effective transfer function becomes: data E = ------------- x 2000 lux 16 2 (EQ. 18) TABLE 14.

The ambient light conditions that the device will be exposed to is at most 500 lux, which is a good office lighting. The light source has a 50/60Hz power line noise, which is not visible by the human eye. The I2C clock is 10kHz. From Solution 1, the desired integration time is 100ms. Note that the REXT resistor only determines the inter oscillator frequency when using external timing mode. Instead, the integration time is the time between two sync_iic commands sent through the I2C. The programmer determines how many I2C clock cycles to wait between two external timing commands. iI2C = fI2C*tint = number of I2C clock cycles 12 FN7697.3 September 5, 2012 ISL76683 iI2C = 10kHz *100ms Flat Window Lens Design iI2C = 1,000 I2C clock cycles. An external sync_iic command sent A window lens will surely limit the viewing angle of the ISL76683. The window lens should be placed directly on top of the device. The thickness of the lens should be kept at minimum to minimize loss of power due to reflection and also to minimize loss of loss due to absorption of energy in the plastic material. A thickness of t = 1mm is recommended for a window lens design. The bigger the diameter of the window lens, the wider the viewing angle is of the ISL76683. Table 16 shows the recommended dimensions of the optical window to ensure both 35 and 45 viewing angle. These dimensions are based on a window lens thickness of 1.0mm and a refractive index of 1.59. 1,000 cycles after another sync_iic command rejects both 60Hz and 50Hz AC noise signals. Next, is to pick an arbitrary REXT = 100k and to choose the Gain/Range Mode. For a maximum 500 lux, Range1 is adequate. From Equation 3: 100k FSR = 1000 lux ------------------100k FSR = 1000 lux The effective transfer function becomes: WINDOW LENS DATA E = --------------------------- x 1000 lux COUNTER DATA is the sensor reading data located in data registers 04(hex) and 05(hex) t DTOTAL COUNTER is the timer counter value data located in data registers 06(hex) and 07(hex).

FLAT WINDOW LENS Window with Light Guide Design DATA E = --------------------------- x 1000 lux COUNTER IR Rejection Any filament type light source has a high presence of infrared component invisible to the human eye. A white fluorescent lamp, on the other hand has a low IR content. As a result, output sensitivity may vary depending on the light source. Maximum attenuation of IR can be achieved by properly scaling the readings of Diode1 and Diode2. The user obtains data reading from sensor Diode1 (D1), which is sensitive to visible and IR, then reading from sensor Diode2 (D2), which is mostly sensitive from IR. The graph in Figure 2 shows the effective spectral response after applying Equation 19 of the ISL76683 from 400nm to 1000nm. Equation 19 describes the method of cancelling IR in internal timing mode. D3 = n ( D1 - kD2 ) DLENS (EQ. 19) Where: data = lux amount in number of counts less IR presence D1 = data reading of Diode1 D2 = data reading of Diode2 n = 1.85. This is a fudge factor to scale back the sensitivity up to ensure Equation 4 is valid. If a smaller window is desired while maintaining a wide effective viewing angle of the ISL76683, a cylindrical piece of transparent plastic is needed to trap the light and then focus and guide the light on to the device. Hence, the name light guide or also known as light pipe. The pipe should be placed directly on top of the device with a distance of D1 = 0.5mm to achieve peak performance. The light pipe should have minimum of 1.5mm in diameter to ensure that whole area of the sensor will be exposed. See Figure 16. TABLE 16.

SENSOR LOCATION DRAWING Suggested PCB Footprint Typical Circuit Footprint pads should be a nominal 1-to-1 correspondence with package pads. Since ambient light sensor devices do not dissipate high power, heat dissipation through the exposed pad is not important; instead, similar to DFN or QFN, the exposed pad provides robustness in board mount process. Intersil recommends mounting the exposed pad to the PCB, but this is not mandatory. A typical application for the ISL76683 is shown in Figure 18. The ISL76683's I2C address is internally hardwired as 1000100. The device can be tied onto a system's I2C bus together with other I2C compliant devices. Layout Considerations The ISL76683 is relatively insensitive to layout. Like other I2C devices, it is intended to provide excellent performance even in significantly noisy environments. There are only a few considerations that will ensure best performance. Soldering Considerations Convection heating is recommended for reflow soldering; direct infrared heating is not recommended. The plastic ODFN package does not require a custom reflow soldering profile, and is qualified to +260C. A standard reflow soldering profile with a +260C maximum is recommended. Route the supply and I2C traces as far as possible from all sources of noise. Use two power-supply decoupling capacitors, 4.7F and 0.1F, placed close to the device. 14 FN7697.3 September 5, 2012 ISL76683 1.8V TO 5.5V R1 10k R2 10k I2C MASTER R3 RES1 MICROCONTROLLER SDA SCL 2.5V TO 3.3V I2C SLAVE_1 I2C SLAVE_0 1 2 C1 4.7F C2 0.1F 3 VDD SDA GND SCL REXT INT REXT 100k 6 5 I2C SLAVE_n SDA SDA SCL SCL 4 ISL76683 FIGURE 18.
