The LX1970 is a new technology light
sensor with spectral response that
emulates the human eye.
This device is ideal for monitoring
ambient light for brightness control
systems in flat panel displays. It has a
unique photo diode arrangement (patents
pending) with a peak response at 520 nm
while sharply attenuating both ultra violet
and infrared wavelengths.
The photo sensor is a PIN diode array
with an accurate, linear, and very
repeatable current transfer function.
Photo current is multiplied by
integrated high gain amplifiers and is
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 10K惟 to 50K惟 range.
With accurate internal gain amplifiers,
design complexity and cost are greatly
reduced.
The LX1970 is available in the 8-pin
MSOP.
