High-Precision Ambient
Light Sensor with Three I

Slave Addresses, EEPROM
and Dark Current
Compensation
Description
http://onsemi.com
The NOA1312 high−precision ambient light sensor (ALS) is
designed for very high accuracy (better than
±5%
tolerance) handheld
applications. The device integrates a 16−bit ADC, a 2−wire I
2
C digital
interface with three pin−selectable I
2
C slave addresses, internal clock
oscillator, EEPROM and a power down mode. A photopic optical color
filter together with built in dynamic dark current compensation and
precision calibration capability plus excellent IR and 50/60 Hz flicker
rejection enables highly accurate measurements from very low light
levels to full sunlight. The device can support simple count equals lux
readings in interrupt−driven or polling modes. The NOA1312
employs proprietary CMOS image sensing technology from
ON Semiconductor to provide large signal to noise ratio (SNR) and
wide dynamic range (DR) over the entire operating temperature range.

of 250 pF (including all parasitic capacitances). The maximum
t
f
for the SDA and SCL bus lines (300 ns) is longer than the specified maximum t
of
for the output stages (250 ns). This allows series protection
resistors (Rs) to be connected between the SDA/SCL pads and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding the maximum specified t

7. The maximum count that can be accumulated in a 16−bit register is 65,535.
8. Linearity (high Ev) is estimated using the following formula:
Linearity (High Ev) = ((Counts(n) – Ideal_counts(n))/ Ideal_counts(n)))* 100
where:
n is an Ev value between 0 lux and 16,250 lux
Ideal_counts (at any Ev): 5.2 counts/lux (Tint = 200 ms)
Linearity values shown above after the final trimming.
9. Count stability is measured over a duration of 5 minutes using a stable white LED at Ev = 100 lux, VDD = 3.0 V, T
A
= 25°C
10. Output counts prior to trimming: low counts = 520/1.65, high counts = 520/0.63.
