C
Programmable interrupt function for ALS, PS,
and GS.
Built-in temperature compensation circuit
RoHS and Halogen free compliant
LTR-91400
is an integrated low voltage I
2
C ambient light
sensor [ALS], gesture sensor [GS] and proximity sensor [PS],
with built-in emitter in a single miniature chipled lead-free
surface mount package.
This sensor converts light intensity to a digital output signal
capable of direct I2C interface. The gesture sensor provides
object motion direction information based on the reflected IR
light detected by the 4 photodiodes for East, West, North and
South direction. Besides, ambient light sensor provides a
linear response over a wide dynamic range and is well suited
to applications under high ambient brightness. With built-in
proximity sensor (emitter and detector), it offers the feature to
detect object at a user configurable distance.
The sensor supports an interrupt feature that removes the
need to poll the sensor for a reading which improves system
efficiency. The sensor also supports several features that help
to minimize the occurrence of false triggering. This CMOS
design and factory-set one time trimming capability ensure
minimal
sensor-to-sensor

2. Functional Block Diagram
LTR-91400 contains 5 integrated photodiodes (1 for ambient light and 4 photodiodes for East, West, North, and South
direction) for respective photocurrent measurement. The photodiode currents are converted to digital values by ADCs. The
sensor also included a driver circuit for an external IRLED, as well as some peripheral circuits such as an internal oscillator,
a current source, voltage reference, and internal fuses to store trimming information.
