The TSL257T is a family of light-to-frequency converters specifically designed for use as a low-cost, low-power, 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This device is used to measure ambient light, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

TSL257T converts an input signal in the range of 0 to 1 lux into a series of frequency outputs that are proportional to the signal’s intensity. The device has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for applications such as smart lighting, UV sterilization control, and environment monitoring.

The TSL257T is a single channel ambient light-to-frequency converter that uses a reverse-conducting, zero-bias photodiode as its sensing element. The device is comprised of an operational amplifier, current source, oscillator, and frequency output circuit. The signal is first converted to logarithmic current through a bandgap reference that generates voltage, which is then converted to signal-related currents and is further amplified by the operational amplifier. The output serves as the input to the oscillator, which is the heart of the device, and is used to generate output pulses of a frequency proportional to the input signal’s intensity.

The frequency output of the TSL257T is divided by 65536 to generate a 16-bit binary output value. The output value is inversely proportional to the input signal’s intensity. This makes the TSL257T suitable for applications where precise ambient light, IR, or UV radiation measurements are required over various ambient light conditions.

The TSL257T is ideal for applications that require low power consumption, such as medical and automotive applications. Its low power consumption, combined with its wide operating temperature range, makes it the ideal solution for ambient light, IR, and UV radiation sensing applications. The device also features a very low-cost solution to the measurement of light and UV radiation.

The TSL257T operates best when the ambient light is near 0 Lux, such as indoors or at night. The maximum operating range is 18 Lux, making it a great choice for applications that require extended low-light sensing. The device also includes a programmable detection threshold, making it a flexible tool for applications such as motion detection, object or person detection, or daylight sensing.

The TSL257T is a robust and reliable ambient light, infrared, and ultraviolet sensing solution that has been designed to work within a wide temperature range and provide accurate readings. It is ideal for applications requiring a low-cost, low-power, reliable sensing solution for detecting light and UV radiation.
