TSL2591
Datasheet - Apr. 2013 - ams163.5
General Description
The TSL2591 is a very-high sensitivity light-to-digital converter
that transforms light intensity into a digital signal output
capable of direct I 2C interface. The device combines one
broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared) and one
infrared-responding photodiode on a single CMOS integrated
circuit. Two integrating ADCs convert the photodiode currents
into a digital output that represents the irradiance measured on
each channel. This digital output can be input to a
microprocessor where illuminance (ambient light level) in lux is
derived using an empirical formula to approximate the human
eye response. The TSL2591 supports a traditional level style
interrupt that remains asserted until the firmware clears it.

Detailed Description
The TSL2591 contains two integrating analog-to-digital
converters (ADC) that integrate currents from two photodiodes.
Integration of both channels occurs simultaneously. Upon
completion of the conversion cycle, the conversion result is
transferred to the Channel 0 and Channel 1 data registers,
respectively. The transfers are double-buffered to ensure that
the integrity of the data is maintained. After the transfer, the
device automatically begins the next integration cycle.
Communication with the device is accomplished through a
standard, two-wire I 2C serial bus. Consequently, the TSL2591
can be easily connected to a microcontroller or embedded
controller. No external circuitry is required for signal
conditioning. Because the output of the device is digital, the
output is effectively immune to noise when compared to an
analog signal.
The TSL2591 also supports an interrupt feature that simplifies
and improves system efficiency by eliminating the need to poll
a sensor for a light intensity value. The primary purpose of the
interrupt function is to detect a meaningful change in light
intensity. The concept of a meaningful change can be defined
by the user both in terms of light intensity and time, or
persistence, of that change in intensity. The device has the
ability to define two sets of thresholds, both above and below
the current light level. An interrupt is generated when the value
of a conversion exceeds either of these limits. One set of
thresholds can be configured to trigger an interrupt only when
the ambient light exceeds them for a configurable amount of
time (persistence) while the other set can be configured to
trigger an immediate interrupt.

1. Optical measurements are made using small-angle incident radiation from light-emitting diode optical sources. Visible white
LEDs and infrared 850 nm LEDs are used for final product testing for compatibility with high-volume production
2. The white LED irradiance is supplied by a white light-emitting diode with a nominal color temperature of 4000 K.
3. The 850 nm irradiance is supplied by a GaAs light-emitting diode with the following typical characteristics: peak wavelength
λ p = 850 nm and spectral halfwidth Δλ½ = 42 nm.

in the status register (0x13). For the interrupt to be visible on the
INT pin, one of the interrupt enable bits in the enable register
(0x00) must be asserted.
The interrupt set special function must be cleared with an interrupt

ALS Interrupt Threshold Register
(0x04 − 0x0B)
The ALS interrupt threshold registers provide the values to be
used as the high and low trigger points for the comparison
function for interrupt generation. If C0DATA crosses below the
low threshold specified, or above the higher threshold, an
interrupt is asserted on the interrupt pin.
If the C0DATA exceeds the persist thresholds (registers: 0x04 –
0x07) for the number of persist cycles configured in the PERSIST
register an interrupt will be triggered. If the C0DATA exceeds
the no-persist thresholds (registers: 0x08 – 0x0B) an interrupt
will be triggered immediately following the end of the current
integration.
Note that while the interrupt is observable in the STATUS
register (0x13), it is visible only on the INT pin when AIEN or
NPIEN are enabled in the ENABLE register (0x00).
Upon power up, the interrupt threshold registers default to
0x00.

The Interrupt persistence filter sets the number of consecutive
out-of-range ALS cycles necessary to generate an interrupt.
Out-of-range is determined by comparing C0DATA (0x14 and
0x15) to the interrupt threshold registers (0x04 - 0x07). Note
that the no-persist ALS interrupt is not affected by the interrupt
persistence filter. Upon power up, the interrupt persistence

ALS Data Register (0x14 - 0x17)
ALS data is stored as two 16-bit values; one for each channel.
When the lower byte of either channel is read, the upper byte
of the same channel is latched into a shadow register. The
shadow register ensures that both bytes are the result of the
same ALS integration cycle, even if additional integration cycles
occur between the lower byte and upper byte register readings.
Each channel independently operates the upper byte shadow
register. So to minimize the potential for skew between CH0
and CH1 data, it is recommended to read all four ADC bytes in
sequence. The simplest way to accomplish this is to perform a
four-byte I2C read operation using the auto-increment
protocol, which is set in the Command register TRANSACTION
field.

Application Information
Figure TSL2591 - 17 shows a typical hardware application
circuit. A 1-μF low-ESR decoupling capacitor should be placed
as close as possible to the VDD pin. V BUS in this figure refers to
the I2C bus voltage, which is equal to V DD.
Figure TSL2591 – 17:
Typical Application Hardware Circuit
TSL2591
The I 2C signals and the Interrupt are open-drain outputs and
require pull-up resistors. The pull-up resistor (RP) value is a
function of the I2 C bus speed, the I 2C bus voltage, and the
capacitive load. The ams EVM running at 400 kbps, uses 1.5-kΩ
resistors. A 10-kΩ pull-up resistor (RPI) can be used for the
interrupt line.

Soldering Information
The package has been tested and has demonstrated an ability
to be reflow soldered to a PCB substrate.
The solder reflow profile describes the expected maximum heat
exposure of components during the solder reflow process of
product on a PCB. Temperature is measured on top of
component. The components should be limited to a maximum
of three passes through this solder reflow profile.

Storage Information
Moisture Sensitivity
Optical characteristics of the device can be adversely affected
during the soldering process by the release and vaporization of
moisture that has been previously absorbed into the package.
To ensure the package contains the smallest amount of
absorbed moisture possible, each device is baked prior to being
dry packed for shipping.
Devices are dry packed in a sealed aluminized envelope called
a moisture-barrier bag with silica gel to protect them from
ambient moisture during shipping, handling, and storage
before use.
Shelf Life
The calculated shelf life of the device in an unopened moisture
barrier bag is 12 months from the date code on the bag when
stored under the following conditions:
• Shelf Life: 12 months
• Ambient Temperature: < 40°C
• Relative Humidity: < 90%
Rebaking of the devices will be required if the devices exceed
the 12 month shelf life or the Humidity Indicator Card shows
that the devices were exposed to conditions beyond the
allowable moisture region.
Floor Life
The FN package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level
of MSL 3. As a result, the floor life of devices removed from the
moisture barrier bag is 168 hours from the time the bag was
opened, provided that the devices are stored under the
following conditions:
• Floor Life: 168 hours
• Ambient Temperature: < 30°C
• Relative Humidity: < 60%
If the floor life or the temperature/humidity conditions have
been exceeded, the devices must be rebaked prior to solder
reflow or dry packing.
Rebaking Instructions
When the shelf life or floor life limits have been exceeded,
rebake at 50°C for 12 hours.

RoHS Compliant and ams Green
Statement
The term RoHS complaint means that ams products fully comply
with current RoHS directive. Our semiconductor products do
not contain any chemicals for all 6 substance categories,
including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at
high temperatures, RoHS compliant products are suitable for
use in specified lead-free processes. ams Green means RoHS
compliant and no Sb/Br). ams defines Green that additionally
to RoHS compliance our products are free of Bromine (Br) and
Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed
0.1% by weight in homogeneous material).
