The temperature profile is divided into four process zones, each with different DT/Dtime temperature change rates or duration. The DT/Dtime rates or duration are detailed in the above table. The temperatures are measured at the component to printed circuit board connections. In process zone P1, the PC board and component pins are heated to a temperature of 150°C to activate the flux in the solder paste. The temperature ramp up rate, R1, is limited to 3°C per second to allow for even heating of both the PC board and component pins. Process zone P2 should be of sufficient time duration (100 to 180 seconds) to dry the solder paste. The temperature is raised to a level just below the liquidus point of the solder. Process zone P3 is the solder reflow zone. In zone P3, the temperature is quickly raised above the liquidus point of solder to 260°C (500°F) for optimum results. The dwell time above the liquidus point of solder should be between 60 and 90 seconds. This is to assure proper coalescing of the solder paste into liquid solder and the formation of good solder connections. Beyond the recommended dwell time the intermetallic growth within the solder connections becomes excessive, resulting in the formation of weak and unreliable connections. The temperature is then rapidly reduced to a point below the solidus temperature of the solder to allow the solder within the connections to freeze solid. Process zone P4 is the cool down after solder freeze. The cool down rate, R5, from the liquidus point of the solder to 25°C (77°F) should not exceed 6°C per second maximum. This limitation is necessary to allow the PC board and component pins to change dimensions evenly, putting minimal stresses on the component. It is recommended to perform reflow soldering no more than twice. 9 Appendix A: SMT Assembly Application Note 1.0 Solder Pad, Mask and Metal Stencil Aperture Stencil Aperture Metal Stencil For Solder Paste Printing Land Pattern PCBA 1.3 Adjacent Land Keepout and Solder Mask Areas Adjacent land keep-out is the maximum space occupied by the unit relative to the land pattern.

There is a constraint on the minimum size of the window, which is placed in front of the photo light sensor, so that it will not affect the angular response of the APDS-9007. This minimum dimension that is recommended will ensure at least a ±35° light reception cone. If a smaller window is required, a light pipe or light guide can be used. A light pipe or light guide is a cylindrical piece of transparent plastic, which makes use of total internal reflection to focus the light. The thickness of the window should be kept as minimum as possible because there is a loss of power in every optical window of about 8% due to reflection (4% on each side) and an additional loss of energy in the plastic material. Figure B1 and B2 illustrate the two types of window that we have recommended which could either be a flat window or a flat window with light pipe. Table 1 and Figure B3 below show the recommended dimensions of the window. These dimension values are based on a window thickness of 1.0mm with a refractive index 1.585. Table 1.

T/L/Z 1.0/1.5/0.5 The window should be placed directly on top of the light receiving area (active area) of the photo sensor to achieve better performance and if a flat window with a light pipe is used, dimension D2 should be 1.5mm to optimize the performance of APDS-9007. The recommended minimum window dimension is based on the assumption that the center of the window and the center of the light receiving of the photo sensor are the same. It is recommended that the tolerance for assembly be considered as well. The recommended minimum window size which will take into account of the assembly tolerance is defined as: D1 (min + assembly tolerance) = D1min + 2*(assembly tolerance) (Dimensions are in mm) D2 (min + assembly tolerance) = D2min + 2*(assembly tolerance) (Dimensions are in mm) D1 Top View T Figure B1.

APDS-9007 consists of a photodiode and an IC that performs amplification of the photodiode output signal and conversion to a logarithmic output current. APDS-9007 is able to produce a high gain photo current that can be converted to an output voltage via a standard value external load resistor. APDS-9007 is then easily integrated into micro-controller that has an available A/D as shown in Figure C1 below. The magnitude of the output voltage, Vout is directly proportional to the photo current which is generated by the brightness of the light source shone on the photo sensor and the value of the load resistor used, RL. Increasing the brightness of the light source and/or the value of the load resistor will increase the magnitude of the output voltage. The unit used to measure light in terms of what our eyes perceive is “LUX”. It indicates the intensity to which a surface is lit or the brightness of the light. Light sources with the same LUX level appear at the same brightness to the human eyes. The equipment for “LUX” measurement is a lux meter. Selection of the load resistor RL will determine the amount of current-to-voltage conversion in the circuit. APDS-9007 allows a maximum saturation output voltage of (Vcc – 0.5V). Artificial light sources such as fluorescent lamps or incandescent lamps produced ac noise with a frequency of 50/60Hz and 100Hz respectively. A capacitor of 10uF, which acts as a low-pass filter, is recommended to be added in parallel with the load resistor to filter out these interferences. An analog logarithmic current output is able to represent the wide dynamic range of ambient light brightness level from near darkness environment to bright outdoor conditions correctly and accurately. For a logarithmic output, constant relative changes in the input values are converted to constant absolute changes in the output values. A logarithmic current output is advantageous because when measuring low brightness levels, small changes in those levels need to be detected. For example, a change from 100lux to 200lux needs to be detected. On the other hand, when measuring high brightness levels, only relatively large changes need to be detected. For example, a change from 10000lux to 10200lux can be negligible and a change from 10klux to 20klux needs to be detected instead. Hence APDS-9007, with a logarithmic current output, is able to provide a good relative resolution over the entire ambient light brightness range. It is able to measure small current steps at low brightness levels and yet, at high brightness levels, it is not required to measure the current at such fine absolute resolutions. This is illustrated in Figure C2 below. A change from 10lux to 100lux and a change from 1klux to 10klux will both give a same relative change which is 10. This is equivalent to a constant absolute change in output current which is 10uA for both changes. Hence a change from 10lux to 100lux will result in a change of 10uA. Similarly, a change from 1klux to 10klux will also result in a change of 10uA. APDS-9007 can be directly connected to the A/D of the micro-controller via one external load resistor which will give the same accuracy or resolution over a wide dynamic range. 45 Output Current (uA) 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 1 10 100 Lux 1000 10000 I2 = 40uA �"I = I2 - I1 I1 = 30uA I2 = 20uA �"I = I2 - I1 I1 = 10uA Pin 4: VDD Light Source APDS9007 RL MicroController A/D C Pin 3 : OUT Pin 6: ShutDown (Active High) Pin 1:� GND GND Ev2 = 100lux Ev1 = 10lux �"Ev = Ev2/Ev1 = 10 Ev1 = 1klux Ev2 = 10klux �"Ev = Ev2/Ev1 = 10 Figure C1.
