TSL2561 Datasheet | ams

General Description Light-to-Digital Converter The TSL2561 are light-to-digital converters that transform light intensity to a digital signal output capable of direct I²C interface. Each device bines one broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared) and one infrared-responding photodiode on a single CMOS integrated circuit capable of providing a near-photopic response over an effective 20-bit dynamic range (16-bit resolution). Two integrating ADCs convert the photodiode currents to 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...
