ams TSL237
The TSL237 light-to-frequency converter combines a silicon photodiode and a current-to-frequency converter on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The digital output allows direct interface to a microcontroller or other logic circuitry. The device has been temperature compensated for the ultraviolet-to-visible light range of 320nm to 700nm and responds over the light range of 320nm to 1050nm.| Part No. | TSL237 |

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Output is a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance) on the photodiode. The TSL237 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and is supplied in a 3-lead clear plastic side-looker package with an integral lens. When supplied in the lead (Pb) free package, the device is RoHS compliant. For automotive and other extended temperature applications, please contact ams for information.
