OPTICAL SENSOR
LTR-381RGB-WA
Description
The LTR-381RGB-WA is an integrated low voltage I2C
ambient light sensor (ALS) and a color sensor (CS) in a
single 2x2mm miniature ChipLED lead-free surface mount
package.
With the advanced RGB color sensor, this sensor converts
light (Red, Green, Blue, and IR) intensity to a digital output
signal capable of direct I2C interface. The ALS provides a
linear response over a wide dynamic range, which is well
suited to applications under very low or bright ambient
brightness.
The sensor has a programmable interrupt with hysteresis
to response to events and that removes the need to poll the
sensor for a reading which improves system efficiency.
This CMOS design and factory-set one time trimming
capability ensure minimal sensor-to-sensor variations for
ease of manufacturability to the end customers.

2. Functional Block Diagram
LTR-381RGB-WA contains different photodiodes for ALS/CS (red, green, blue, and IR channel) measurement.
The photodiode currents are converted to digital values by ADCs. The sensor also includes some peripheral
circuits such as an internal oscillator, a current source, voltage reference, and internal fuses to store trimming
information.
