TSL257
High-Sensitivity Light-to-Voltage
Converter
General Description The TSL257 is a high-sensitivity low-noise light-to-voltage
optical converter that combines a photodiode and a
transimpedance amplifier on a single monolithic CMOS
integrated circuit. Output voltage is directly proportional to
light intensity (irradiance) on the photodiode. The TSL257 has
a transimpedance gain of 320MΩ. The device has improved
offset voltage stability and low power consumption and is
supplied in a 3-lead clear plastic sidelooker package with an
integral lens. When supplied in the lead (Pb) free package, the
device is RoHS compliant.
