APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065
Miniature Surface-Mount Digital Ambient Light Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies' APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 is a lowvoltage Digital Ambient Light Sensor that converts light
intensity to digital signal output with I2C interface. It consists
of photodiode, ADC, oscillator and power-on reset to ensure
consistent start-up. ADCs convert the photodiode currents
to a digital output and the device is capable of rejecting
50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by artificial light sources.
Ambient Light Sensing
The APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 approximates the
response of the human-eye providing direct read out,
where the output count is proportional to ambient light
level. Low light functionality enables operation behind
darkened glass. The APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 supports
programmable hardware interrupt with hysteresis to
respond to events.
APDS-9306 ultra slim form factor with a height of only
0.34mm and APDS-9306-065 with a height of 0.65mm
enables the sensor to be designed into space-sensitive
applications.

System State Machine
Ambient Light Sensor Interrupt
Start Up after Power-On or Software Reset
The ALS interrupt is enabled by ALS_INT_EN=1 and
can function as either threshold triggered (ALS_VAR_
MODE=0) or variance triggered (ALS_VAR_MODE =1).
The main state machine is set to “Start State” during
power-on or software reset. As soon as the reset is released,
the internal oscillator is started and the programmed I2C
address and the trim values are read from the internal non
volatile memory (NVM) trimming data block. The device
enters Standby Mode as soon as the Idle State is reached.
Note: As long as the I2C address has not yet been reached,
the device will respond with NACK to any I2C command
and ignore any request to avoid responding to a wrong
I2C address.
Standby Mode
The ALS threshold interrupt is enabled with ALS_INT_
EN=1 and ALS_VAR_MODE=0. It is set when the ALS data
is above the upper or below the lower ALS threshold for a
specified number of consecutive measurements (1+ALS_
PERSIST)
The ALS variance interrupt is enabled with ALS_INT_EN=1
and ALS_VAR_MODE=1. It is set when the absolute value
of the difference between previous and current ALS data is
above the decoded ALS variance threshold for a specified
number of consecutive measurements (1+ALS_PERSIST).
Standby Mode is the default mode after power-up. In
this state, the oscillator, all internal support blocks, and
the ADCs are switched off but I2C communication is fully
supported.
Start
Ambient Light Sensor Operation
ALS measurements can be activated by setting the ALS_
EN bit to 1 in the MAIN_CTRL register.
As soon as the ALS becomes activated through an I2C
command, the internal support blocks are powered on.
Once the voltages and currents are settled (typically after
5ms), the state machine checks for trigger events from
a measurement scheduler to start the ALS conversions
according to the selected measurement repeat rates.
Once ALS_EN is changed back to 0, a conversation running
on the respective channel will be completed and the
relevant ADCs and support blocks will move to standby
mode.

I2C Protocol
I²C Register Write
Interface and control of the APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 is
accomplished through an I2C serial compatible interface
(standard or fast mode) to a set of registers that provide
access to device control functions and output data. The
device supports a single slave address of 0X52 hex using
7-bit addressing protocol. (Contact factory for other addressing options).
The APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 registers can be written
to individually or in block write mode. When two or more
bytes are written in block write mode, reserved registers
and read-only registers are skipped. The transmitted data
is automatically applied to the next writable register. If
a register includes read (R) and read/write (RW) bits, the
register is not skipped. Data written to read-only bits are
ignored.
I²C Register Read
If the last valid address of the APDS-9306/APDS-9306065 address range is reached but the master attempts to
continue the block write operation, the address counter
of the APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 will not roll over. The
APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 will return NACK for every
following byte sent by the master until the I2C™ operation
is ended.
The registers can be read individually or in block read
mode. When two or more bytes are read in block read
mode, reserved register addresses are skipped and the
next valid address is referenced. If the last valid address
has been reached, but the master continues with the
block read, the address counter in the device will not roll
over and the device returns 00HEX for every subsequent
byte read.
If a write access is started on an address belonging to a
non-writeable register, the APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065
will return NACK until the I2C™ operation is ended.
The block read operation is the only way to ensure correct
data read out of multi-byte registers and to avoid splitting
of results with HIGH and LOW bytes originating from
different conversions. During block read access on ALS
result registers, the result update is blocked.
Write operations must follow the Register Write timing
diagram below.
If a read access is started on an address belonging to a
non-readable register, the APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065
will re-turn NACK until the I2C™ operation is ended.
Read operations must follow the Register Read timing
diagram as below.

Clear channel digital output data (unsigned integer, 13 to 20 bit, LSB aligned). The clear channel data is clipped at (2Resolution – 1)
The clear channel output is already temperature compensated internally:
CLEAR_DATA = (CLEARint - COMP)
When an I²C™ read operation is active and points to an address in the range 07HEX to 18HEX, all registers in this range
are locked until the I²C™ read operation is completed or this address range is left.
This guarantees that the data in the registers comes from the same measurement even if an additional measurement
cycle ends during the read operation. New measurement data is stored into temporary registers and the actual CLEAR_
DATA registers are updated as soon as there is no on-going I²C™ read operation to the address range 07HEX to 18HEX.

ALS channel digital output data (unsigned integer, 13 to 20 bit, LSB aligned).
The channel output is already temperature compensated internally:
ALS_DATA = (ALSint – COMP)
When an I²C™ read operation is active and points to an address in the range 07HEX to 18HEX, all registers in this range
are locked until the I²C™ read operation is completed or this address range is left.
This guarantees that the data in the registers comes from the same measurement even if an additional measurement
cycle ends during the read operation. New measurement data is stored into temporary registers and the actual ALS_
DATA registers are updated as soon as there is no on-going I²C™ read operation to the address range 07HEX to 18HEX.

Application Information: Hardware
The application hardware circuit for implementing an ALS is simple with the APDS-9306/APDS-9306-065 and is shown in
the following figure. The bypass capacitor is placed as close to the VDD pin and is connected directly to the power source
and to the ground, as shown in Figure below. It allows the AC component of the VDD to pass through to ground. Use
bypass capacitor with low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI), such as the common
ceramic types, which provide a low impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle transient currents caused
by internal logic switching.
Pull-up resistors, RSDA and RSCL, maintain the SDA and SCL lines at a high level when the bus is free and ensure the
signals are pulled up from a low to a high level within the required rise time. A pull-up resistor, RINT, is also required
for the interrupt (INT), which functions as a wired-AND signal in a similar fashion to the SCL and SDA lines. A typical
impedance value of 10 kΩ can be used.

The reflow profile is a straight-line representation of
a nominal temperature profile for a convective reflow
solder process. The temperature profile is divided into
four process zones, each with different T/time temperature change rates or duration. The T/time 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.
