Programmable Light-to-Frequency Converter

 

DESCRIPTION: 
The CS454000 Programmable Light-to-Frequency Converter combines a configurable silicon photodiode and a current-to-frequency converter on single monolithic CMOS integrated circuits. The output can be either a pulse train or a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity. Device sensitivity is selectable in three ranges, providing two decades of adjustment. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by one of four preset values. An output enable (OE) is provided that places the output in the high-impedance state for multiple-unit sharing of a C StampTM microcontroller input line. The devices have an absolute-output-frequency tolerances of ±20%. They have been temperature compensated for the ultraviolet-to-visible light range of 320 nm to 700 nm and respond over the light range of 320 nm to 1050 nm. The devices are characterized over the temperature range of −25°C to 70°C. All inputs and the output are compatible with the C Stamp microcomputer’s supplies and signal levels, allowing direct two-way communication with the microcontroller for programming and output interface. Communicating with the device is made easy with A-WIT's supplied software commands STPIND and PULSIN. This simple two commands interface is all that is required to setup the device, and acquire frequency readings from it.

All items are new, fully tested, factory direct!
