[v1-01] 2018-Mar-27 Document Feedback TCS3471 − Detailed Description The TCS3471 light-to-digital device contains a 4 × 4 photodiode array, integrating amplifiers, ADCs, accumulators, clocks, buffers, comparators, a state machine, and an I²C interface. The 4 × 4 photodiode array is composed of red-filtered, green-filtered, blue-filtered, and clear photodiodes — four of each type. Four 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 data registers. The transfers are double-buffered to ensure that the integrity of the data is maintained. Communication to the device is accomplished through a fast (up to 400 kHz), two-wire I²C serial bus for easy connection to a microcontroller or embedded controller. The TCS3471 provides a separate pin for level-style interrupts. When interrupts are enabled and a pre-set value is exceeded, the interrupt pin is asserted an d 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 value. An interrupt is generated when the value of an RGBC 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. Detailed Description

[v1-01] 2018-Mar-27 Document Feedback TCS3471 − Principles Of Operation System State Machine The TCS3471 provides control of RGBC and power management functionality through an internal state machine ( Figure 17 ). After a power-on-reset, the device is in the sleep mode. As soon as the PON bit is set, the device wi ll move to the start state. It will then continue through the Wait and RGBC states. If these states are enabled, the device will execute each function. If the PON bit is set to 0, the state machine will continue until all conversions are completed and then go into a low power sleep mode. Figure 17: Simplified State Diagram Note(s): In this document, the nomenclature uses the bit field name in italics followed by the register number and bit number to allow the user to easily identify the register and bit that controls the function. For example, the power on (PON) is in register 0, bit 0. This is represented as PON (r0:b0) . Principles Of Operation Sleep Start RGBCWait PON = 1 (r0:b0) PON = 0 (r0:b0)

Document Feedback [v1-01] 2018-Mar-27 TCS3471 − Principles Of Operation RGBC Operation The RGBC engine contains RGBC gain control (AGAIN) and four integrating analog-to-digital converters (ADC) for the RGBC photodiodes. The RGBC integrat ion time (ATIME) impacts both the resolution and the sensit ivity of the RGBC reading. Integration of all four channels occurs simultaneously and upon completion of the conversion cycl e, the results are transferred t o t h e c o l o r d a t a r e g i s t e r s . T h i s d a t a i s a l s o r e f e r r e d t o a s c h a n n e l count . The transfers are double-buffered to ensure that invalid data is not read during the transfer. After the transfer, the device automatically moves to the next state in accordance with the configured state machine. Figure 18: RGBC Operation The registers for programming the integration and wait times are a 2’s compliment values. The actual time can be calculated as follows: ATIME = 256 - Integration Time / 2.4 ms Inversely, the time can be calculated from the register value as follows: Integration Time = 2.4 ms × (256 - ATIME) For example, if a 100ms integration time is needed, the device needs to be programmed to: 256 - (100 / 2.4) = 256 - 42 = 214 = 0xD6 Conversely, the programmed value of 0xC0 would correspond to: AGAIN(r0x0F, b1:0) 1/C0121, 4/C0121, 16/C0121, 60/C0121 Gain CDATAH(r0x15), CDATA(r0x14)Clear ADC Red ADC Green ADC Blue ADC Clear Data Red Data Green Data Blue Data RGBC Control Blue Green Red Clear RDATAH(r0x17), RDATA(r0x16) GDATAH(r0x19), GDATA(r0x18) BDATAH(r0x1B), BDATA(r0x1A) ATIME(r 1) 2.4 ms to 700 ms (EQ1) (EQ2)

[v1-01] 2018-Mar-27 Document Feedback TCS3471 − Principles Of Operation Interrupts The interrupt feature simplifies and improves system efficiency by eliminating the need to poll the sensor for light intensity values outside of a user-defin ed range. While the interrupt function is always enabled and it ’s status is available in the status register (0x13), the output of the interrupt state can be enabled using the RGBC interrupt enable (AIEN) field in the enable register (0x00). Two 16-bit interrupt threshold re gisters allow the user to set limits below and above a desired light level range. An interrupt can be generated when the RGBC Clear data (CDATA) falls outside of the desired light level range, as determined by the values in the RGBC interrupt low threshold registers (AILTx) and RGBC interrupt high threshold regi sters (AIHTx). It is important to note that the low threshold va lue must be less than the high threshold value for proper operation. To further control when an interrupt occurs, the device provides a persistence filter. The persiste nce filter allows the user to specify the number of cons ecutive out-of-range RGBC occurrences before an interrupt is generated. The persistence register (0x0C) allows the user to set the persistence (APERS) value. See the Persistence Register (0x0C) for details on the persistence filter values. Once the persistence filter generates an interrupt, it will continue un til a special function interrupt clear command is received (see Command Register ).

[v1-01] 2018-Mar-27 Document Feedback TCS3471 − Principles Of Operation I²C Protocols Interface and control are accomplished through an I²C serial compatible interface (standard or fast mode) to a set of registers that provide access to device cont rol functions and output data. The devices support the 7-bit I²C addressing protocol. The I²C standard provides for three types of bus transaction: read, write, and a combined protocol ( Figure 21 ). During a write operation, the first byte written is a command byte followed by data. In a combined protocol, the first byte written is the command byte followed by reading a series of bytes. If a read command is issued, the register address from the previous command will be used for data access. Likewise, if the MSB of the command is not set, the device will write a series of bytes at the address stored in the last valid command with a register address. The command byte contains either control information or a 5-bit register address. The control commands can also be used to clear interrupts. The I²C bus protocol was develo ped by Philips (now NXP). For a complete description of the I²C protocol, please review the NXP I²C design specification at http://www.i2c-bus.org/references/ .

Document Feedback [v1-01] 2018-Mar-27 TCS3471 − Register Description RGBC Channel Data Registers (0x14 - 0x1B) Clear, red, green, and blue data is stored as 16-bit values. To ensure the data is read correctly, a two-byte read I²C transaction should be used with a read word protocol bit set in the command register. With this operation, when the lower byte register is read, the upper eight bits are stored into a shadow register, which is read by a subsequent read to the upper byte. The upper register will read the correct value even if additional ADC integration cycles end betw een the reading of the lower and upper registers.

A 1-μF low-ESR decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the V DD pin. Figure 34: Typical Application Hardware Circuit VBUS in Figure 34 refers to the I²C bus voltage, which is either VDD or 1.8 V. Be sure to apply the specified I²C bus voltage shown in the Available Options table for the specific device being used. The I²C signals and the Interrupt are open-drain outputs and require pull-up resistors. The pull-up resistor (R P) value is a function of the I²C bus speed, the I²C bus voltage, and the capacitive load. The ams EVM running at 400 kbps, uses 1.5-k Ω resistors. A 10-k Ω pull-up resistor (R PI) can be used for the interrupt line. Application Information: Hardware TCS3471 INT SDA SCL VDD 1 /C0109F GND VBUS RP RP RPI VDD

Document Feedback [v1-01] 2018-Mar-27 TCS3471 − Manufacturing Information Moisture Sensitivity Optical characteristics of the device can be adversely affected during the soldering process by the release and vaporization of moisture that has been previous ly absorbed into the package. To ensure the package contains the smallest amount of absorbed moisture possible, each device is dry-baked prior to being packed for shipping. Devices are packed in a sealed aluminized envelope with silica gel to protect them from ambient moisture during shipping, handling, and storage before use. The FN package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 3 and the devices should be stored under the following conditions:

  • Temperature Range: 5ºC to 50ºC
  • Relative Humidity: 60% maximum
  • Total Time: 12 months from the date code on the aluminized envelope — if unopened
  • Opened Time: 168 hours or fewer Rebaking will be required if the devices have been stored unopened for more than 12 months or if the aluminized envelope has been open for more than 168 hours. If rebaking is required, it should be done at 50ºC for 12 hours.
