processing that provides a nearly
perfect photopic light wavelength
response curve. LX1972A provides a
linear, accurate, and very repeatable
current transfer function. High gain
current mirrors on the chip multiply
the PIN diode photo-current to a
sensitivity level that can be voltage
scaled with a standard value external
resistor. Output current from this
simple to use two-pin device can be
used directly or converted to a voltage
by placing it in series with a single
resistor at either of its two pins.
Dynamic range is determined by the
resistors (typically in the range of 5K to
100K) and the power supply values.
Typically the LX1972A needs only
2.7V of headroom to operate at 1000
Lux illumination.
Internal temperature compensation
allows dark current to be kept below
200nA over the full specification
temperature range (-40擄C to +85擄C),
providing high accuracy at low light
levels. Usable ambient light conditions
range is from 1 to more than 5000 Lux.
The LX1972A is optimized for
controlling back lighting systems in low
cost consumer products such as LCD
TV, portable computers, and digital
cameras.
