Introduction
OPT3101 device is a high-speed, high-resolution AFE for continuous wave, time-of-flight (ToF) based
proximity sensing, and range finding. The purpose of the OPT3101EVM is to expedite evaluation and
system development of the OPT3101. The evaluation kit consists of a printed-circuit board (PCB),
available for purchase on the OPT3101EVM page, and a software package called Latte, which is available
for download on the OPT3101EVM page under software. The PCB is a single-pixel system that uses the
OPT3101 device for ToF proximity sensing. The PCB connects to a computer running the Latte software
through USB. The Latte software allows visualization and logging of the OPT3101 readings, setting
different modes of operation, reading and writing of register settings on the device, and the creation of
custom Python® scripts.
Figure 1. OPT3101EVM Printed-Circuit Board
The following sections are divided into hardware, software installation, using the EVM, and
troubleshooting. The last section at the end of this guide includes the EVM schematic, layout, and bill of
materials (BOM). The OPT3101EVM Hardware section gives an overview of the OPT3101EVM PCB,
covering the different components of the board and outlining the functions of each. The Section 4 section
provides the steps needed to install and launch the Latte software package. The Using the EVM section
describes how to use the Latte software to take readings on the EVM.

3.1
MSP430 Microcontroller
The MSP430F5503 has a USB interface, allowing connection to a PC, and acts as a communication
bridge between the OPT3101 and the PC. The MSP430 microcontroller is loaded with C++ firmware for
interfacing with the OPT3101 over I2C, in addition to the other components on the PCB. The MSP430 also
has a calibration configuration for the board stored in onboard flash storage.
The MSP430 registers 2 USB COM ports with the PC it is plugged in to. The OPT3101 Control Port is
used for sending control commands to the MSP430. This includes reading and writing registers on the
OPT3101 and interfacing with the MSP430 flash storage. The OPT3101 Data Port is used only for
streaming data from the EVM to the PC. This allows for maximum data rates when receiving real-time
data from the OPT3101 during high-speed capture.
3.2
I2C Buses and Temperature Sensor
The OPT3101 has two I2C buses. On the main I2C bus, labeled I2C_S, the OPT3101 is a slave device.
This bus is used to control the OPT3101 and read data by reading and writing registers on the device. The
OPT3101 also has a secondary I2C bus, I2C_M, for which it is the master. This bus allows an external
temperature sensor and an EEPROM to be controlled by the OPT3101. The OPT3101 contains an
internal temperature sensor, which is used for temperature calibration. This sensor has 8-bit integer
resolution. Adding an external temperature sensor, such as that used on the EVM, allows up to 12 bits of
resolution to be obtained with one sign bit, 7 integer bits, and 4 fractional bits. This allows for more
accurate temperature correction. An external EEPROM allows for an OPT3101 register configuration to be
stored and loaded on power-up. This means that the device does not need an I2C master to configure it on
power-up. On the EVM, only a temperature sensor is used on this bus.

3.3
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) and Photodiode (PD) for ToF Measurements
As the introduction states, this EVM is a single-pixel system. There is a single LED-photodiode pair that
connects to the OPT3101 and is used for ToF measurements. The EVM uses a 850-nm centroid (860-nm
peak) wavelength IR LED (SFH 4550), and a 900-nm peak sensitivity IR photodiode (SFH 213 FA).
Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG)cylinders on the EVM encircle both the LED and photodiode. The
cylinders provide both optical and electrical shielding between the LED and photodiode, this reduces
crosstalk.
3.4
Headers and Power-On Jumper
The headers break out a number of signals from the EVM for debug and to provide more flexibility in the
ways the EVM can be used. Figure 6 shows how to power the board by placing the power-on jumper on
the bottom two pins of J19. This connects the 3.3-V output of the LDO to the rest of the components on
the EVM. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the complete list of signals that are broken out to the headers.

Other Components
The following components are also used on the PCB:
• The LDO creates a 3.3-V supply, which powers both the MSP430 and the OPT3101.
• The programming switch puts the EVM in bootloader mode. This works by holding down the switch
during power up. This allows firmware to be flashed to the device.
CAUTION
Flashing new firmware to the EVM erases the calibration stored on the EVM.
Never do this unless a firmware update is required, and if this is the case make
sure to read the calibration out of the MSP430 flash and create a backup
before flashing the new firmware.

The indicator LED is an RGB multi-color LED, which is used by the MSP430 firmware to provide visual
feedback. Currently the LED only glows green to signal that the device has firmware and is powered
on. However, the firmware supports using different colors to indicate other functions.
The micro USB port allows the device to be plugged into a computer using a micro USB cable. The
device is powered off the 5-V supply from the USB.
TVS diode array connected to all signals routed to the header pins and the USB. This helps with ESD
protection.
The crystal oscillator provides a 4-MHz clock for the MSP430.

Using Latte Software
Figure 15. Gui Window
Clicking the Start Capture button begins capture. This sends a capture start command over the OPT3101
Control Port to the MSP430 on the EVM. The EVM then begins streaming data over the OPT3101 Data
Port. This data is displayed live on the left side of the window. Distance is plotted on the graph. The axis
of the plot can be changed by right clicking on the plot itself.
Clicking the Stop Capture button, or closing out the window stops streaming data from the EVM.
A number of key measurements are provided on this GUI. Distance, phase, amplitude, ambient, and
temperature as well as a number of other parameters are all calculated internally on the OPT3101 and
transmitted via I2C to the MSP430 and then to the PC over the data COM port. These values are all
displayed in the table on the left hand side of the GUI window and summarized in Table 3.
Frame Averaging
The Sub Frame Count and Avg Frame Count settings shown on the left of the GUI can be adjusted to
decrease measurement noise or increase speed of measurement. An increase in avg frames will decrease
the standard deviation in measurements while a decrease in avg frames will increase the data collection
rate. Please note that these two fields correspond directly to register settings and Sub Frame Count must
be greater than or equal to Avg Frame Count. An Avg Frame Count value of 0 corresponds to no
averaging.

Streaming data at maximum datarate
To operate the EVM at the maximum datarate of 3 ksps the following steps need to be taken. First, the
mode select must be set to one of the non-autoHDR and non-super-HDR modes. The capture mode
select must be set to 2 register mode. Then the Avg Frame Count and Sub Frame Count fields must
be set to 1. HDR mode uses an extra frame to determine when to switch LED currents, which limits the
EVM to 2 ksps. In 3 register mode, there is too much data to send at higher speeds than 2 ksps. 2
register mode omits the 0Ah register. The OPT3101 device can run at up to 4 ksps, but due to the
speed of the MSP430, the maximum speed of the EVM is 3 ksps.

Corresponding register and description
Distance
The calculated distanced derived from the phase and the calibration information in millimeters
Phase
The raw data from the PHASE_OUT register. The OPT3101 uses the phase shift between the LED signal emitted and photodiode signal
received to determine distance. See the Introduction to Time-of-Flight Optical Proximity Sensor System Design Guide, for more details on
time-of-flight operation.
Amplitude
The raw data from the AMP_OUT register. A 15-bit digital representation of the full-scale signal amplitude. This is the signal strength of the
returning signal to the AFE. This number is related to the signal-to-noise ratio. The lower the amplitude, the noisier the signal will be. As the
amplitude goes down, the standard deviation for distance and phase measurements will generally increase. As distance between the EVM
and a target is increased or reflectivity of a target is decreased, the amplitude will decrease.
space ● spThe HDR, and super-HDR functionality of the OPT3101 allows two or four LED current values to be used which allows an
space * spincreased range while maintaining relatively high amplitude.
Ambient
The raw data from the AMB_DATA register. This is a measurement of the environmental IR light that is landing on the sensor. This
measurement is used to reduce the effect of the ambient light on the signal and computed distance through the ambient rejection and
ambient calibration functionality of the device.
tMain
The derived data from the TMAIN register. The temperature reading in degrees Celsius from the internal sensor on the OPT3101. The tMain
and tillum measurements are used in calibration to compensate for phase and crosstalk drift across temperature.
tillum
The derived data from the TILLUM register. The temperature reading in degrees Celsius from the external temperature sensor soldered to
the EVM PCB.
illumCh
The raw data from the TX_CHANNEL register. On Super-HDR mode this field indicates whether the 2 larger (illumCh=1) or 2 smaller
(illumCh=0) current values are being used.
illumDAC
The raw data from the HDR_MODE register. In HDR mode this field indicates whether the larger (illumDAC=1) or smaller (illumDAC=0)
current is being used. In Super-HDR mode this field indicates which of the 2 current values indicated by the illumCh field are being used.
SignalSat
The raw data from the SIG_OVL_FLAG register. A value of 1 indicates that the amplitude reading has saturated.
AmbientSat
The raw data from the AMB_OVL_FLAG register. A value of 1 indicates that the ambient reading has saturated.
SampleCounter
The derived data from the FRAME_COUNT0, FRAME_COUNT1, and FRAME_COUNT2 registers. Indicates the current data frame that is
being received from the OPT3101. This value starts at 0 and increments with each frame the OPT3101 reads. After reaching 31 this value
loops back to 0.
Plots
The GUI contains a distance plot Figure 15 and a composite plot Figure 16. These plots can be switched
between, using the tab buttons above the plot. The distance plot is a graph of the distance reading in
millimeters on the y-axis against the sample count on the x-axis. The composite plot overlays both
distance data and amplitude data. The plot settings can be tweaked by right clicking on the plot. The xaxis and y-axis options under the right-click menu allow the range of x- and y-axes displayed to be
changed. There is also an auto option that will dynamically change the range to match the data. Scrolling
will zoom in to or zoom out from the plot. Left-clicking and dragging will display a yellow rectangle that will,
upon releasing the mouse, zoom the data to the rectangle drawn. Right-clicking and dragging up or down
zooms the y-axis. Right-clicking and dragging right or left will zoom the x-axis. Right clicking and selecting
"View All" will reset the view.

deviation of the distance, phase, and amplitude to be computed for any continuous portion of the
displayed data. If capture is running this data updates in real-time along with the data in the Live column.

Microsoft® Windows® 7 Manual Driver Installation
This section outlines the manual driver installation process. If you are using Windows 7 or if the Windows
device manager shows the OPT3101 Control and OPT3101 Data as other devices instead of COM ports
as shown in Figure 17, use the following steps. If OPT3101 Control and OPT3101 Data show up as COM
ports automatically (as is the case with Windows 10), then this section can be skipped.

Runnining Scripts and Collecting Data
8.1.1
Hidden IDE Window
The Latte program runs a number of python scripts in the background to capture and display data from the EVM. These scripts allow for
initialization of the device including loading calibration data from the EVM flash memory, launching a live view window with measurement plot and
readings, and additional functionality such as reading from the flash and selecting a specific LED current for the device to use. For advance users
or users looking for more flexibility when using the OPT3101EVM these python scripts are available in an integrated development environment
(IDE) window that is minimized when TI-Latte is launched. The IDE window allows advanced users to customize the existing scripts or write new
scripts

Figure 23. IDE Window
Figure 23 shows the scripts window.
Customization of the 01-variableSetup.py scripts allows for initialization paremeters of the device to be changed. Latte also provides
functionality to write custom Python scripts for testing and evaluation purposes with the OPT3101. The example scripts provided can be used
as a reference to write custom scripts.
The default script install location is:

8.1.2
Initialization
The EVM is initialized by running the devInit.py script in Latte. This runs the variablesSetup.py, Initialization.py, and loadRegistersFromFlash.py
scripts in addition to creating the objects for interfacing with the device (dev), the device registers (regProg), and the capture infrastructure of
the MSP430 on the EVM (capDev), which allows for higher speed data transfer over a dedicated data COM port. Running the devInit.py script
will automatically run the launchGUI.py script after completing initialization steps. This will display the graphical window for controlling the EVM
and visualizing data.

Calibration
The OPT3101 device has a number of calibration features to increase the device’s performance that are loaded when running devInit.py. The
EVM is calibrated for internal crosstalk, illumination crosstalk, phase offset, crosstalk over temperature, phase offset over temperature, and
ambient correction. For more details on these calibration features see OPT3101 ToF based Long Range Proximity and Distance Sensor AFE
and the OPT3101 Distance Sensor System Calibration. The EVM calibration values are stored onboard the flash of the MSP430. The
calibration values are loaded from the flash into the OPT3101 using the loadRegistersFromFlash.py script in Latte.
8.1.4
Running the Scripts
After launching Latte, expand the OPT3101 directory on the left hand side of the window under Files by clicking the triangle to the left of the
directory name. This displays the calibData, drivers, and OPT3101EVMrevE3_Demo folders. Further expanding the OPT3101EVMrevE3_Demo
folder will display all the example scripts as shown in Figure 24.
