OPTICAL SENSOR
LTR-390UV-01
Description
Features
The LTR-390UV-01 is an integrated low voltage I2C ambient
I2C interface capable of Standard mode @100kHz or
logic
Fast mode @400kHz communication; 1.8V
light sensor (ALS) and ultraviolet light sensor (UVS) in a single
compatible
miniature 2x2mm chipled lead-free surface mount package.
Ambient Light / Ultraviolet light (UVS) Technology in one
This sensor converts light intensity to a digital output signal
ultra-small 2x2mm ChipLED package
capable of direct I2C interface. It provides a linear ALS
Very low power consumption with sleep mode capability
response over a wide dynamic range, and is well suited to
Operating voltage ranges: 1.7V to 3.6V
applications under high ambient brightness.
Operating temperature ranges: -40 to +85 ºC
The sensor has a programmable interrupt with hysteresis to
response to events and that removes the need to poll the
Built-in temperature compensation circuit
Programmable interrupt function for ALS , UVS with
upper and lower thresholds
sensor for a reading which improves system efficiency. This
CMOS design and factory-set one time trimming capability
ensure minimal sensor-to-sensor variations
for ease of
manufacturability to the end customers.
Application
RoHS and Halogen free compliant
UVS/ALS Features
13 to 20 bits effective resolution
Wide dynamic range of 1:18,000,000 with linear
response
Close to human eye spectral response
Automatic
rejection
for 50Hz/60Hz
lighting
Identifying the UV index in ambient light helps people to
flicker
effectively protect themselves from sunburns, cancer or
eye damage.
To control brightness and color of the display panel in
mobile, computing, and consumer devices.

OPTICAL SENSOR
LTR-390UV-01
LTR-390UV-01 contains 2 integrated photodiodes (ALS/UVS) for respective photocurrent measurements. The
photodiode currents are converted to digital values by ADCs. The sensor also includes some peripheral circuits such as
an internal oscillator and voltage reference.
