Description
The TMD2771 family of devices provides digital ambient light sensing (ALS), a complete proximity detection
system, and digital interface logic in a single 8-pin package. The proximity detector includes a digital proximity
sensor, LED driver, and IR LED, which are trimmed to eliminate the need for end-equipment calibration due to
component variations. Excellent background light rejection allows the device to operate in environments from
sunlight to dark rooms. The wide dynamic range allows for operation in short distance detection such as a cell
phone (behind dark glass). An internal state machine provides the ability to put the device into a low-power mode
in between ALS and proximity measurements, providing very low average power consumption.
The device is particularly useful for display management with the purpose of extending battery life and providing
optimum viewing in diverse lighting conditions. Display panel and keyboard backlighting can account for up to
30 to 40 percent of total platform power. The ALS features are ideal for use in notebook PCs, LCD monitors,
flat-panel televisions, and cell phones.
The proximity function specifically targets near-field proximity applications. In cell phones, the proximity
detection can detect when the user positions the phone close to their ear. The device is fast enough to provide
proximity information at a high repetition rate needed when answering a phone call. This provides both improved
green
power saving capability and the added security to lock the computer when the user is not present. The
addition of the micro-optics lenses within the device, provide highly efficient transmission and reception of
infrared energy, which lowers overall power dissipation.

Detailed Description
The light-to-digital device provides on-chip photodiodes, integrating amplifiers, ADCs, accumulators, clocks,
buffers, comparators, a state machine, and an I
2
C interface. Each device combines one photodiode (CH0),
which is responsive to both visible and infrared light, and a second photodiode (CH1), which is responsive
primarily to infrared light. Two integrating ADCs simultaneously convert the amplified photodiode currents to
a digital value providing up to 16-bits of resolution. Upon completion of the conversion cycle, the conversion
result is transferred to the Ch0 and Ch1 data registers. This digital output can be read by a microprocessor
where the luminance (ambient light level in lux) is derived using an empirical formula to approximate the human
eye response.
A fully integrated proximity detection solution is provided with an 850-nm IR LED, LED driver circuit, and
proximity detection engine. An internal LED driver (LDR) pin, is connected to the LED cathode (LEDK) to provide
a factory calibrated proximity of 100 mm,
±
20 mm. This is accomplished with a proprietary current calibration
technique that accounts for all variances in silicon, optics, package, and most important, IR LED output power.
This eliminates or greatly reduces the need for factory calibration that is required for most discrete proximity
sensor solutions. While the
device
is factory calibrated at a given pulse count, the number of proximity LED
pulses can be programmed from 1 to 255 pulses, which allows different proximity distances to be achieved.
Each pulse has a 16
μs
period with a 7.2
μs
on time.
Communication with the device is accomplished through a fast (up to 400 kHz), two-wire I
2
C serial bus for easy
connection to a microcontroller or embedded controller. The digital output of the device is inherently more
immune to noise when compared to an analog photodiode interface.
The device provides a separate pin for level-style interrupts. When interrupts are enabled and a pre-set value
is exceeded, the interrupt pin is asserted and remains asserted until cleared by the controlling firmware. The
interrupt feature simplifies and improves system efficiency by eliminating the need to poll a sensor for a light
intensity or proximity value. An interrupt is generated when the value of an ALS or proximity conversion exceeds
either an upper or lower threshold. In addition, a programmable interrupt persistence feature allows the user
to determine how many consecutive exceeded thresholds are necessary to trigger an interrupt. Interrupt
thresholds and persistence settings are configured independently for both ALS and proximity.
