IOUT vs LUMINANCE FN6117.6 September 2, 2008 ISL29000 For some applications, a load resistor is added between the output and the ground as shown in Figure 1. The output voltage can be expressed in Equation 2: Pin Descriptions PIN NAME DESCRIPTION 1 VCC Supply, 2.5V to 5.5V 2 GND Ground 3 EN Enable 4 NC No connect 5 Output 61A V OUT = I OUT x R LOAD = ------------------------ x L INPUT x R LOAD 1000Lux (EQ. 2) Here, VOUT is the output voltage and RLOAD is the value of the load resistor added. The compliance of the ISL29000's output circuit may result in premature saturation of the output current and voltage when an excessively large RLOAD is used. The output compliance voltage is 300mV below the supply voltage as listed in VO(MAX) of "Electrical Specifications" on page 2. Current output pin Block Diagram VCC 1 In order to have the linear relationship between the input light and the output current and voltage, a proper resistor value (i.e., gain) should be picked for a specific input light range. The resistor value can be picked according to Equation page 4: 3 ENABLE ( V SUP - 0.3V ) 1000Lux - x -----------------------R LOAD = -------------------------------------* L RANGE 61 A 5 (EQ. 3) OUTPUT Here, VSUP is the supply voltage, and LRANGE is the specific input light range for an application. For example, an indoor light ranges typically from 0 lux to 1,000 lux. A resistor value of 45k for 3V supply voltage can be used. For a small light range, a large resistor value should be used to achieve better sensitivity; for a large light range, a small resistor value should be used to prevent non-linear output current and voltage. 2 GND Application Information Product Description Resistor Output RLOAD Selection The ISL29000 is a light-to-current optical sensor combining photodiodes and current amplifiers on a single monolithic IC. The photodiodes are temperature-compensated and their spectrum resembles the human eye response. The output current is directly proportional to the intensity of light falling on the photodiodes. For 100 lux of input fluorescent light, the ISL29000 has an output current of 6.5A. The resistor output, RLOAD, determines the voltage transfer function of the device. The device converts light into current then RLOAD converts the output current to an output voltage. RLOAD can range from 10 to 10M depending on the input lux levels. The table below lists RLOAD values to maximize output swing for typical lux range levels. A careful balance of dynamic swing and fast response has to be considered when choosing RLOAD. For faster response, choose a smaller value RLOAD to shunt stray capacitances that may slow down response time. For maximum dynamic range or swing, choose a higher value RLOAD. Although finite, the output impedance of the device is considerably large. Hence, the light-to-current conversion deviation because of resistor loading is infinitesimal. The recommended maximum RLOAD is 10M. The ISL29000 is housed in an ultra-compact surface mount clear plastic package. Light-to-Current and Voltage Conversion The ISL29000 has a responsiveness that is directly proportional to the intensity of light intercepted by the photodiodes. Although the conversion rate varies depending on the light sources (fluorescent light, incandescent light or direct sunlight), in general for a fluorescent light, the light-to-current conversion is: 61A I OUT = ------------------------ x L INPUT 1000Lux (EQ. 1) Here, IOUT is the output current in A, and LINPUT is the input light in lux. 4 Although the device saturates at 10,000 lux (IOUT = 600A), the output current must never exceed 6mA. The voltage output compliance of the device is 300mV below the supply. The output current stops ramping when the output voltage reaches voltage compliance. FN6117.6 September 2, 2008 ISL29000 TABLE 1. VDD = 5V, MAXIMUM OUTPUT VOLTAGE = 4.7V Next, the value of R2 can be calculated based on the maximum output current coming from the ISL29000 under the application's maximum light exposure. Suppose the current has been determined to be about 125A. Thus, R2 can be calculated approximately using Equations 5 and 6: ILLUMINATION RANGE (LUX) RLOAD (k) CURRENT OUT (A) 0 to 10 7830 0 to 0.6 0 to 200 392 0 to 12 0 to 500 157 0 to 30 0 to 1,000 80 0 to 60 and 0 to 10,000 8.00 0 to 600 R 1 = 11 x R 2 = 110k Application Examples The following examples present from fully automatic to fully manual override implementations. These guidelines are applicable to a wide variety of potential light control applications. The ISL29000 can be used to control the brightness input of CCFL inverters. Likewise it can interface well with LED drivers. In each specific application, it is important to recognize the target environment and its ambient light conditions. The mechanical mounting of the sensor, light aperture hole size and use of a light pipe or bezel are critical in determining the response of the ISL29000 for a given exposure of light. The example in Figure 9 shows a fully automatic dimming solution with no user interaction. Choose R1 and R2 values for any desired minimum brightness and slope. Choose C1 to adjust response time and to filter 50/60Hz room lighting. For example, suppose you wish to generate an output voltage from 0.25V to 1.25V to drive the input of an LED driver controller. The 0.25V represents the minimum LED brightness and 1.25V represents the maximum. The 1st step would be to determine the ratio of R1 and R2: 3.0V R 1 = R 2 x ---------------- - 1 = 11 x R 2 0.25V 3V TO 5V SUPPLY VOLTAGE (EQ. 4) 1.25V R 2 = ------------------ = 10k 125A (EQ. 5) (EQ. 6) In Figure 10, user adjustable bias control has been added to allow control over the minimum and maximum output voltage. This allows the user to adjust the output brightness to personal preference over a limit range via the 3V PWM control. 3V TO 5V SUPPLY VOLTAGE 3V PWM CONTROL VDO R2 110k ISL29000 EN TO INVERTER BRIGHTNESS INPUT OR LED DRIVER CONTROLLER OUT R1 10k GND C1 25F FIGURE 10.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING SOLUTION WITH ADJUSTABLE BIAS CONTROL AND MANUAL OVERRIDE 5 FN6117.6 September 2, 2008 ISL29000 Short Circuit Current Limit The ISL29000 does not limit the output short circuit current. If the output is directly shorted to the ground continuously, the output current could easily increase for a strong input light such that the device may be damaged. Maximum reliability is maintained if the output continuous current never exceeds 6mA by adding a load resistor at the output. This limit is set by the design of the internal metal interconnects. Suggested PCB Footprint Footprint pads should be a nominal 1-to-1 correspondence with package pads. The large, exposed central die-mounting paddle in the center of the package requires neither thermal nor electrical connections to PCB, and such connections should be avoided. Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit Board Layout The ISL29000 is relatively insensitive to the printed circuit board layout due to its low speed operation. Nevertheless, good printed circuit board layout is necessary for optimum performance. Ground plane construction is highly recommended, lead length should be as short as possible and the power supply pins must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. For normal single supply operation, where the GND pin is connected to ground, a 0.1F ceramic capacitor should be placed from VCC pin to GND pin. A 4.7F tantalum capacitor should then be connected in parallel, placed close to the device. All Intersil U.S. products are manufactured, assembled and tested utilizing ISO9000 quality systems.
