Photo-ASICs


Light Detector ASICs

• Light level monitoring photo-ASICs
• Photopic filtering
• Cadmium Sulphide cell replacement

The following curves show the typical response curve of a 412101 light detector with photopic filter (Red) in comparison to real photopic response (Blue).

Street lighting applications, also known as PECUs, require daylight/night-time transition recognition whether it is centralised or localised on the street lights themselves. These new devices have been developed specifically for replacement of CdS cells in line with ROHS European regulations.
This type of daylight monitoring is used in motion-detection security lighting and many other applications.

 

Visible Light Detectors (412101, 412102, 413101)
These devices show excellent uniformity and linearity of performance with various types of light including ambient, Tungsten Filament, fluorescent and LED lights.
The internal dark current cancellation enables high accuracy over the full temperature range, even at low light levels.

Low cost 412xx range
• Analogue design with Digital outputs
• Free from memory effects (such as blooming in the CdS cells)
• 2-pin visible light sensors
• Current output which is directly proportional to the light level
• Built-in optical filter to provide a response which is close to the human eye

 

413101
• Analogue design with Digital outputs
• Free from memory effects (such as blooming in the CdS cells)
• 4-pin version
• Digital output to provide on/off switching
• Built in hysteresis to prevent flicker

Application notes:
The output current can be converted to a voltage by connecting it in series with a resistor.The dynamic range is determined by the external resistor and power supply. (e.g. 5V across a 10K resistor gives a range of 0 to 250 Lux but can be raised to 1000 Lux with a 1K resistor).
The internal dark current cancellation enables high accuracy over the full temperature range, even at low light levels.

The devices can be supplied in probed wafer form, probed sawn wafer form, or packaged in LED-style or surface mount packages.
