ams Datasheet, Confidential Page 1 [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 Document Feedback TCS3771 Color Light-To-Digital Converter with Proximity Sensing The TCS3771 family of devices provides red, green, blue, and clear (RGBC) light sensing an d proximity detection (when coupled with an external IR LED). They detect light intensity under a variety of lighting conditions and through a variety of attenuation materials. The proximity detection feature allows a large dynamic range of operation for use in short distance detection behind dark glass such as in a cell phone or for longer distance measurements for applications such as presence detection for monitors or lapt ops. The programmable proximity detection enables continuous measurements across the entire range. In addition, an internal state machine provides the ability to put the device into a low power mode in between RGBC and proximity measurements providing very low average power consumption. The TCS3771 is directly useful in lighting conditions containing minimal IR content such as LED RGB backlight control, reflected LED color sampler, or fluorescent light color temperature detector. With the addition of an IR blocking filter, the device is an excellent ambient light sensor, color temperature monitor, and general purpose color sensor. The proximity function is targeted specifically towards battery-powered mobile devices, LCD monitor, laptop, and flat-panel television 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. It can also detect both close and far distances so the application can implement more complex algorithms to provide a more robust interface. In laptop or monitor applications, the product is se nsitive enough to determine whether a user is in front of the laptop using the keyboard or away from the desk. This provides both improved green power saving capability and the added security to lock the computer when the user is not present. Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of datasheet.

Page 4 ams Datasheet, Confidential Document Feedback [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 TCS3771 − Detailed Description The TCS3771 light-to-digital device contains a 4 × 4 photodiode array, integrating amplifiers, ADCs, accumulators, clocks, buffers, comparators, a state machine, and an I 2C 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 400kHz), two-wire I 2C serial bus for easy connection to a microcontroller or embedded controller. The TCS3771 provides a separate pin for level-style interrupts. When interrupts are enabled and a preset 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 or proximity value. An interrupt is generated when the value of an RGBC 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 RGBC and proximity. Proximity detection requires only a single external IR LED. An internal LED driver can be configured to provide a constant current sink of 12.5mA, 25mA, 50mA or 100mA of current. No external current limiting resistor is required. The number of proximity LED pulses can be programmed from 1 to 255 pulses. Each pulse has a 14μs period. This LED current coupled with the programmable number of pulses provides a 2000:1 contiguous dynamic range. Detailed Description

Page 16 ams Datasheet, Confidential Document Feedback [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 TCS3771 − Principles of Operation System State Machine The TCS3771 provides control of RGBC, proximity detection, and power management functionality through an internal state machine ( Figure 19 ). After a power-on-reset, the device is in the sleep mode. As soon as the PON bi t is set, the device will move to the start state. It will then continue through the Prox, 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 19: 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

ams Datasheet, Confidential Page 17 [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 Document Feedback TCS3771 − 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-b uffered to ensure that invalid data is not read during the transf er. After the transfer, the device automatically moves to the next state in accordance with the configured state machine. Figure 20: 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 / 2.4ms Inversely, the time can be calculated from the register value as follows: Integration Time = 2.4ms × (256 - ATIME) For example, if a 100-ms 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: (256 - 0xC0) × 2.4 = 64 × 2.4 = 154ms

ams Datasheet, Confidential Page 19 [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 Document Feedback TCS3771 − Principles of Operation The LED drive current is controlled by a regulated current sink on the LDR pin. This feature eliminates the need to use a current limiting resistor to control LED current. The LED drive current can be configured for 12.5mA, 25mA, 50mA, or 100mA. For higher LED drive requirements, an external P-FET transistor can be used to control the LED current. The number of LED pulses can be programmed to any value between 1 and 255 pulses as needed. Increasing the number of LED pulses at a given current will increase the sensor sensitivity. Sensitivity grows by the square root of the number of pulses. Each pulse has a 14μs period. Figure 23: Proximity IR LED Waveform The proximity integration time (PTI ME) is the period of time that the internal ADC converts the analog signal to a digital count. It is recommend that this be set to a minimum of PTIME = 0xFF or 2.4ms.

Page 20 ams Datasheet, Confidential Document Feedback [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 TCS3771 − Principles of Operation The combination of LED power and number of pulses can be used to control the distance at which the sensor can detect proximity. Figure 24 shows an example of the distances covered with settings such that each curve covers 2× the distance. Counts up to 64 pulses provide a 16× range. Figure 24: Proximity ADC Count vs. Relative Distance Interrupts The interrupt feature simplifies and improves system efficiency by eliminating the need to poll the sensor for light intensity or proximity values outside of a user-defined range. While the interrupt function is always enabled and it’s status is available in the status register (0x13), th e output of the interrupt state can be enabled using the proxim ity interrupt enable (PIEN) or RGBC interrupt enable (AIEN) fields in the Enable Register (0x00). Four 16-bit interrupt threshold registers allow the user to set limits below and above a desired light level and proximity 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 inte rrupt high threshold registers (AIHTx). Likewise, an out-of-ran ge proximity interrupt can be generated when the proximity data (PDATA) falls below the

ams Datasheet, Confidential Page 21 [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 Document Feedback TCS3771 − Principles of Operation proximity interrupt low threshold (PILTx) or exceeds the proximity interrupt high threshold (PIHTx). It is important to note that the low threshold valu e 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 consec utive out-of-range RGBC or proximity occurrences before an interrupt is generated. The persistence register (0x0C) allows the user to set the RGBC persistence (APERS) and the pr oximity persistence (PPERS) values. See the persistence register 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” on page 26 ). Figure 25: Programmable Interrupt

ams Datasheet, Confidential Page 23 [v1-20] 2014-Aug-06 Document Feedback TCS3771 − Principles of Operation I2C Protocol Interface and control are accomplished through an I 2C 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 I 2C addressing protocol. The I 2C standard provides for three types of bus transaction: read, write, and a combined protocol ( Figure 27 ). 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 I 2C bus protocol was developed by Philips (now NXP). For a complete description of the I 2C protocol, please review the NXP I 2C design specification at http://www.i2c-bus.org/references .

Devices are packed in a sealed aluminized envelope called a moisture barrier bag 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: 5°C to 50°C
  • Relative Humidity: 60% maximum
  • Total Time: 12 months from the date code on the aluminized envelo pe - 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 50°C for 12 hours.
