GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ASR8600 ALS/IR sensing offers ASC (Auto Scale Control) mode other than traditional manual mode which needs user to manually set sensing time and gain to get proper resolution according to light intensity. With ASC mode, ASR8600 could automatically adjust the sensing time and gain to the best resolution for various light intensity. User just needs simply to read the measured light data in accuracy without any other setting. The ASC output data is in dynamic range of 16 bits up to 64K lux. The Solar-UV sensing adopts only ASC mode without manual mode option. User can combine ASR8600 with LED or LD (Laser Diode) to do PS sensing, detecting the presence of nearby object to avoid any physical contact. The spectrum of LED/LD light source could be IR or Green selected by customer using user command. The driving current and pulse time of LED/LD is widely optional according to the distance to be detected. To cancel the PS optical crosstalk from overlay reflection, ASR8600 offers PS Offset cancellation function.
