LX1971 INTEGRATED PRODUCTS Wide Range Visible Light Sensor P RODUCTION D ATA S HEET DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES W WW . Microsemi . C OM The LX1971 is a new technology light sensor with spectral response that emulates the human eye; it is pin to pin compatible to Microsemi’s LX1970 visible light sensor however with a wider dynamic range. This device is ideal for monitoring ambient light for the control of artificial lighting, operation of shades, LED signage and display, street lighting, automotive light sensors and control of backlight dimming. It has a unique photo diode arrangement (patents pending) with a peak response at 520nm while sharply attenuating both ultra violet and infrared wavelengths. The photo sensor is a PIN diode array with an accurate and very repeatable current output. Photo current is first multiplied by an integrated high gain amplifier then the square root is taken of the product of the amplifier and an internal reference current. Finally this is further multiplied converted to current and made available at two output pins; one a current source and the other a current sink. These currents can easily be converted to voltage by adding a single resistor at either or both outputs. Voltage gain is determined by the resistor value typically in the 5KΩ to 50KΩ range. With accurate internal gain amplifiers and square root transfer function, design complexity and cost are greatly reduced. The LX1971 is available in the Clear 8pin MSOP package.

Microsemi . C OM SRC Current (µA) The LX1971 is a light sensor with a spectral response that resembles the human visual system. It is packaged in clear MSOP package with the same pin out and same supply voltage range as Microsemi’s LX1970 light sensor. The LX1971 responsiveness however differs from that of the LX1970. In general the LX1971 has lower sensitivity and a wider dynamic range. Whereas the LX1970 has a responsiveness that is directly proportional to the intensity of light falling on the photo receptors. There are two different response equations for the LX1971 depending on the operating range (intensity of the light). Below 2500 lux, the response resembles a square root function. Above 2500 lux, the response fits a straight line curve. LX1971 Calculated SRC Full Range Response 250 200 150 100 50 0 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 Incandescent Light (lux) I OUT = 20000 lux ( L × .808 + 1.1µA for L < 2500 lux ) 2500 Lux Formula I OUT = (L × .0083µA) + 23µA for 2500 lux < L < The LX1970 is best suited for applications where the light sensor is an integral part of a continuous lighting control system. For example, in an LCD backlighting application, the level of brightness of the backlight should be adjusted in proportion to the level of ambient lighting; the LX1970 can provide closed loop brightness control for this type of system. For most indoor applications, the 2500 lux saturation point of the LX1970 is usually not a limiting affect. The LX1971 is best suited for applications where the system must respond to external events that affect the user’s ability to see clearly. For example, a sensor to turn on headlights or a sensor to adjust the reflectivity of a rear view mirrors. These systems require the sensor to have dynamic range similar to sight. Like the human eye, the square root function of the LX1971 makes it extra sensitive to small changes at lower light levels. The wide dynamic range allows the LX1971 to sense the difference between twilight and daylight or sunshine and heavy cloud cover. The following curves show the calculated responsiveness of the LX1971 without load resistors based on the formulas above. They can be used as baseline guidelines to calculate gain setting resistors. The compliance of the current source output may result in premature saturation of the output when load resistors are added. The SRC compliance voltage is specified typically at VDD-600mV @ about 4000 lux.

Microsemi . C OM The following examples present both fully automatic (no user input) and semi-automatic, to fully manual override implementations. These general guidelines are applicable to a wide variety of potential light control applications. The LX1971 can be used for the control of artificial lighting, operation of shades, LED signage and display, street lighting, automotive light sensors and control of backlight dimming. In each specific application it is important to recognize the need to correlate the sink and source current of the LX1971 for the target environment and its ambient light conditions. The mechanical mounting of the sensor, light aperture hole size, use of a light pipe or bezel are critical in determining the response of the LX1971 for a given exposure of light. 3.3V or 5V VDD VSS SNK N/C LED driver controller or dimming controller input SRC 3V R1 R2 C1 10µF We are assuming a high impedance input to the LED driver. In Figure 2 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 limited range. The PWM input source could of course be replaced with an equivalent DC voltage. 3.3V or 5V VDD VSS SNK N/C LED driver controller or dimming controller input 10µF SRC 3.3V PWM R1 40K R2 25K Figure 2 Figure 3 shows how a fully manual override can be quickly added to the example in figure 2. In addition to the gate to turn on and off the LX1971, a diode has been inserted to isolate the LX1971 when it is shut down. Diable control CMOS Gate VDD VSS SNK N/C SRC 3.3V 60K Figure 1 The example in figure one shows a fully automatic lighting control solution with no user interaction. Choose R1 and R2 values for any desired minimum brightness and slope. Choose C1 to adjust response time. As an example, let’s say 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 represent the maximum. The first step would be to determine the ratio of R1 and R2. R1 = R2 [ 3.0V/0.25V –1] = 11 * R2 PWM 30K 10µF 30K LED driver controller or dimming controller input Next the value of R2 can be calculated based on the maximum output source current coming from the LX1971 under the application’s maximum light exposure, lets say this has been determined to be about 50uA . Thus R2 can be calculated first order as follows: R2 = [ 1.25V / 50uA ] = 25KΩ ∴ R1 = 11 * R2 = 275KΩ Figure 3 APPLICATIONS APPLICATIONS The output node will actually reach 1.25V when the source current from the LX1971 is only about 44uA since about 6uA of current will be contributed from R1. The preceding examples represent just a few of the many ways the sensor can be used. For example since there is also a complimentary sink output a resistor from VDD to SNK could develop a voltage that could be compared (with some hysteresis) to a fixed (or adjustable) reference voltage and develop a logic signal. In the case of street lighting or operation of shades such a signal would engage the function when reaching the correct ambient light level.
