The TSL2568 and TSL2569 are high-sensitivity light-to-digital converters that transform light intensity to a digital
signal output capable of direct I2C (TSL2569) or SMBus (TSL2568) interface. Each device combines one
broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared) and one infrared-responding photodiode on a single CMOS
integrated circuit capable of providing a near-photopic response over an effective 20-bit dynamic range (16-bit
resolution). Two integrating ADCs convert the photodiode currents to a digital output that represents the
irradiance measured on each channel. This digital output can be input to a microprocessor where illuminance
(ambient light level) in lux is derived using an empirical formula to approximate the human eye response. The
TSL2568 device permits an SMB-Alert style interrupt, and the TSL2569 device supports a traditional level style
interrupt that remains asserted until the firmware clears it.

While useful for general purpose light sensing applications, the TSL2568/69 devices are designed particularly
for display panels (LCD, OLED, etc.) with the purpose of extending battery life and providing optimum viewing
in diverse lighting conditions. Display panel backlighting, which can account for up to 30 to 40 percent of total
platform power, can be automatically managed. Both devices are also ideal for controlling keyboard illumination
based upon ambient lighting conditions. Illuminance information can further be used to manage exposure
control in digital cameras. The TSL2568/69 devices are ideal in notebook/tablet PCs, LCD monitors, flat-panel
televisions, cell phones, and digital cameras. In addition, other applications include street light control, security
lighting, sunlight harvesting, machine vision, and automotive instrumentation clusters.

Detailed Description
The TSL2568 and TSL2569 are second-generation ambient light sensor devices. Each contains two integrating
analog-to-digital converters (ADC) that integrate currents from two photodiodes. Integration of both channels
occurs simultaneously. Upon completion of the conversion cycle, the conversion result is transferred to the
Channel 0 and Channel 1 data registers, respectively. The transfers are double-buffered to ensure that the
integrity of the data is maintained. After the transfer, the device automatically begins the next integration cycle.
Communication to the device is accomplished through a standard, two-wire SMBus or I2C serial bus.
Consequently, the TSL256x device can be easily connected to a microcontroller or embedded controller. No
external circuitry is required for signal conditioning, thereby saving PCB real estate as well. Since the output
of the TSL256x device is digital, the output is effectively immune to noise when compared to an analog signal.
Te
ch
ni
ca
The TSL256x devices also support an interrupt feature that simplifies and improves system efficiency by
eliminating the need to poll a sensor for a light intensity value. The primary purpose of the interrupt function is
to detect a meaningful change in light intensity. The concept of a meaningful change can be defined by the user
both in terms of light intensity and time, or persistence, of that change in intensity. The TSL256x devices have
the ability to define a threshold above and below the current light level. An interrupt is generated when the value
of a conversion exceeds either of these limits.

NOTES: 2. Optical measurements are made using small-angle incident radiation from light-emitting diode optical sources. Visible 640 nm LEDs
and infrared 940 nm LEDs are used for final product testing for compatibility with high-volume production.
3. The 640 nm irradiance Ee is supplied by an AlInGaP light-emitting diode with the following characteristics: peak wavelength
λp = 640 nm and spectral halfwidth Δλ½ = 17 nm.
4. The 940 nm irradiance Ee is supplied by a GaAs light-emitting diode with the following characteristics: peak wavelength
λp = 940 nm and spectral halfwidth Δλ½ = 40 nm.
5. Integration time Tint, is dependent on internal oscillator frequency (fosc) and on the integration field value in the timing register as
described in the Register Set section. For nominal fosc = 735 kHz, nominal Tint = (number of clock cycles)/fosc.
Field value 00: Tint = (11 × 918)/fosc = 13.7 ms
Field value 01: Tint = (81 × 918)/fosc = 101 ms
Field value 10: Tint = (322 × 918)/fosc = 402 ms
Scaling between integration times vary proportionally as follows: 11/322 = 0.034 (field value 00), 81/322 = 0.252 (field value 01),
and 322/322 = 1 (field value 10).
6. Full scale ADC count value is limited by the fact that there is a maximum of one count per two oscillator frequency periods and also
by a 2-count offset.
Full scale ADC count value = ((number of clock cycles)/2 − 2)
Field value 00: Full scale ADC count value = ((11 × 918)/2 − 2) = 5047
Field value 01: Full scale ADC count value = ((81 × 918)/2 − 2) = 37177
Field value 10: Full scale ADC count value = 65535, which is limited by 16 bit register. This full scale ADC count value is reached
for 131074 clock cycles, which occurs for Tint = 178 ms for nominal fosc = 735 kHz.
7. Low gain mode has 16 lower gain than high gain mode: (1/16 = 0.0625).
8. The sensor Lux is calculated using the empirical formula shown on p. 22 of this data sheet based on measured Ch0 and Ch1 ADC
count values for the light source specified. Actual Lux is obtained with a commercial luxmeter. The range of the (sensor Lux) / (actual
Lux) ratio is estimated based on the variation of the 640 nm and 940 nm optical parameters. Devices are not 100% tested with
fluorescent or incandescent light sources.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Analog-to-Digital Converter
al
id
The TSL256x contains two integrating analog-to-digital converters (ADC) that integrate the currents from the
channel 0 and channel 1 photodiodes. Integration of both channels occurs simultaneously, and upon completion
of the conversion cycle the conversion result is transferred to the channel 0 and channel 1 data registers,
respectively. The transfers are double buffered to ensure that invalid data is not read during the transfer. After
the transfer, the device automatically begins the next integration cycle.
Digital Interface
lv
Interface and control of the TSL256x is accomplished through a two-wire serial interface to a set of registers
that provide access to device control functions and output data. The serial interface is compatible with System
Management Bus (SMBus) versions 1.1 and 2.0, and I2C bus Fast-Mode. The TSL256x offers three slave
addresses that are selectable via an external pin (ADDR SEL). The slave address options are shown in Table 1.

NOTE: The Slave and SMB Alert Addresses are 7 bits. Please note the SMBus and I2C protocols on pages 9 through 12. A read/write bit should
be appended to the slave address by the master device to properly communicate with the TSL256X device.
SMBus and I2C Protocols
Each Send and Write protocol is, essentially, a series of bytes. A byte sent to the TSL256x with the most
significant bit (MSB) equal to 1 will be interpreted as a COMMAND byte. The lower four bits of the COMMAND
byte form the register select address (see Table 2), which is used to select the destination for the subsequent
byte(s) received. The TSL256x responds to any Receive Byte requests with the contents of the register
specified by the stored register select address.
The TSL256X implements the following protocols of the SMB 2.0 specification:

TAOS091D − DECEMBER 2008
When an SMBus Block Write or Block Read is initiated (see description of COMMAND Register), the byte
following the COMMAND byte is ignored but is a requirement of the SMBus specification. This field contains
the byte count (i.e. the number of bytes to be transferred). The TSL2568 (SMBus) device ignores this field and
extracts this information by counting the actual number of bytes transferred before the Stop condition is
detected.
al
id
When an I2C Write or I2C Read (Combined Format) is initiated, the byte count is also ignored but follows the
SMBus protocol specification. Data bytes continue to be transferred from the TSL2569 (I2C) device to Master
until a NACK is sent by the Master.
The data formats supported by the TSL2568 and TSL2569 devices are:
D Master transmitter transmits to slave receiver (SMBus and I2C):
−
The transfer direction in this case is not changed.
−
lv
D Master reads slave immediately after the first byte (SMBus only):
At the moment of the first acknowledgment (provided by the slave receiver) the master transmitter
becomes a master receiver and the slave receiver becomes a slave transmitter.
−
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
D Combined format (SMBus and I2C):
During a change of direction within a transfer, the master repeats both a START condition and the slave
address but with the R/W bit reversed. In this case, the master receiver terminates the transfer by
generating a NACK on the last byte of the transfer and a STOP condition.
For a complete description of SMBus protocols, please review the SMBus Specification at
http://www.smbus.org/specs. For a complete description of I2C protocols, please review the I2C Specification

Register Set
The TSL256x is controlled and monitored by sixteen registers (three are reserved) and a command register
accessed through the serial interface. These registers provide for a variety of control functions and can be read
to determine results of the ADC conversions. The register set is summarized in Table 2.

FIELD
Register Address. This field selects the specific control or status register for following write and read
commands according to Table 2.
NOTE: An I2C block transaction will continue until the Master sends a stop condition. See Figure 14 and Figure 15. Unlike the I2C protocol, the
SMBus read/write protocol requires a Byte Count. All four ADC Channel Data Registers (Ch through Fh) can be read simultaneously in
a single SMBus transaction. This is the only 32-bit data block supported by the TSL2568 SMBus protocol. The BLOCK bit must be set
to 1, and a read condition should be initiated with a COMMAND CODE of 9Bh. By using a COMMAND CODE of 9Bh during an SMBus
Block Read Protocol, the TSL2568 device will automatically insert the appropriate Byte Count (Byte Count = 4) as illustrated in Figure 15.
A write condition should not be used in conjunction with the Bh register.
Control Register (0h)
The CONTROL register contains two bits and is primarily used to power the TSL256x device up and down as
shown in Table 4.

The manual timing control feature is used to manually start and stop the integration time period. If a particular
integration time period is required that is not listed in Table 6, then this feature can be used. For example, the
manual timing control can be used to synchronize the TSL256x device with an external light source (e.g. LED).
A start command to begin integration can be initiated by writing a 1 to this bit field. Correspondingly, the
integration can be stopped by simply writing a 0 to the same bit field.
Interrupt Threshold Register (2h − 5h)
Te
ch
The interrupt threshold registers store the values to be used as the high and low trigger points for the comparison
function for interrupt generation. If the value generated by channel 0 crosses below or is equal to the low
threshold specified, an interrupt is asserted on the interrupt pin. If the value generated by channel 0 crosses
above the high threshold specified, an interrupt is asserted on the interrupt pin. Registers THRESHLOWLOW
and THRESHLOWHIGH provide the low byte and high byte, respectively, of the lower interrupt threshold.
Registers THRESHHIGHLOW and THRESHHIGHHIGH provide the low and high bytes, respectively, of the
upper interrupt threshold. The high and low bytes from each set of registers are combined to form a 16-bit
threshold value. The interrupt threshold registers default to 00h on power up.

NOTE: Since two 8-bit values are combined for a single 16-bit value for each of the high and low interrupt thresholds, the Send Byte protocol should
not be used to write to these registers. Any values transferred by the Send Byte protocol with the MSB set would be interpreted as the
COMMAND field and stored as an address for subsequent read/write operations and not as the interrupt threshold information as desired.
The Write Word protocol should be used to write byte-paired registers. For example, the THRESHLOWLOW and THRESHLOWHIGH
registers (as well as the THRESHHIGHLOW and THRESHHIGHHIGH registers) can be written together to set the 16-bit ADC value in
a single transaction.
Interrupt Control Register (6h)
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
The INTERRUPT register controls the extensive interrupt capabilities of the TSL256x. The TSL256x permits
both SMB-Alert style interrupts as well as traditional level-style interrupts. The interrupt persist bit field
(PERSIST) provides control over when interrupts occur. A value of 0 causes an interrupt to occur after every
integration cycle regardless of the threshold settings. A value of 1 results in an interrupt after one integration
time period outside the threshold window. A value of N (where N is 2 through15) results in an interrupt only if
the value remains outside the threshold window for N consecutive integration cycles. For example, if N is equal
to 10 and the integration time is 402 ms, then the total time is approximately 4 seconds.
When a level Interrupt is selected, an interrupt is generated whenever the last conversion results in a value
outside of the programmed threshold window. The interrupt is active-low and remains asserted until cleared by
writing the COMMAND register with the CLEAR bit set.
In SMBAlert mode, the interrupt is similar to the traditional level style and the interrupt line is asserted low. To
clear the interrupt, the host responds to the SMBAlert by performing a modified Receive Byte operation, in which
the Alert Response Address (ARA) is placed in the slave address field, and the TSL256x that generated the
interrupt responds by returning its own address in the seven most significant bits of the receive data byte. If more
than one device connected on the bus has pulled the SMBAlert line low, the highest priority (lowest address)
device will win communication rights via standard arbitration during the slave address transfer. If the device
loses this arbitration, the interrupt will not be cleared. The Alert Response Address is 0Ch.
ca
When INTR = 11, the interrupt is generated immediately following the SMBus write operation. Operation then
behaves in an SMBAlert mode, and the software set interrupt may be cleared by an SMBAlert cycle.

Interrupts
al
id
The interrupt feature of the TSL256x device simplifies and improves system efficiency by eliminating the need
to poll the sensor for a light intensity value. Interrupt styles are determined by the INTR field in the Interrupt
Register. The interrupt feature may be disabled by writing a field value of 00h to the Interrupt Control Register
so that polling can be performed.

lc s

nt

The versatility of the interrupt feature provides many options for interrupt configuration and usage. The primary
purpose of the interrupt function is to provide a meaningful change in light intensity. However, it also be used
as an end-of-conversion signal. The concept of a meaningful change can be defined by the user both in terms
of light intensity and time, or persistence, of that change in intensity. The TSL256x device implements two
16-bit-wide interrupt threshold registers that allow the user to define a threshold above and below the current
light level. An interrupt will then be generated when the value of a conversion exceeds either of these limits. For
simplicity of programming, the threshold comparison is accomplished only with Channel 0. This simplifies
calculation of thresholds that are based, for example, on a percent of the current light level. It is adequate to
use only one channel when calculating light intensity differences since, for a given light source, the channel 0
and channel 1 values are linearly proportional to each other and thus both values scale linearly with light
intensity.
To further control when an interrupt occurs, the TSL256x device provides an interrupt persistence feature. This
feature allows the user to specify a number of conversion cycles for which a light intensity exceeding either
interrupt threshold must persist before actually generating an interrupt. This can be used to prevent transient
changes in light intensity from generating an unwanted interrupt. With a value of 1, an interrupt occurs
immediately whenever either threshold is exceeded. With values of N, where N can range from 2 to 15, N
consecutive conversions must result in values outside the interrupt window for an interrupt to be generated. For
example, if N is equal to 10 and the integration time is 402 ms, then an interrupt will not be generated unless
the light level persists for more than 4 seconds outside the threshold.
Two different interrupt styles are available: Level and SMBus Alert. The difference between these two interrupt
styles is how they are cleared. Both result in the interrupt line going active low and remaining low until the
interrupt is cleared. A level style interrupt is cleared by setting the CLEAR bit (bit 6) in the COMMAND register.
The SMBus Alert style interrupt is cleared by an Alert Response as described in the Interrupt Control Register
section and SMBus specification.
ca
To configure the interrupt as an end-of-conversion signal, the interrupt PERSIST field is set to 0. Either Level
or SMBus Alert style can be used. An interrupt will be generated upon completion of each conversion. The
interrupt threshold registers are ignored. The following example illustrates the configuration of a level interrupt:
Te

ni
// Set up end−of−conversion interrupt, Level style

//Slave addr also 0x29 or 0x49

APPLICATION INFORMATION: SOFTWARE
Calculating Lux
al
id
The TSL256x is intended for use in ambient light detection applications such as display backlight control, where
adjustments are made to display brightness or contrast based on the brightness of the ambient light, as
perceived by the human eye. Conventional silicon detectors respond strongly to infrared light, which the human
eye does not see. This can lead to significant error when the infrared content of the ambient light is high, such
as with incandescent lighting, due to the difference between the silicon detector response and the brightness
perceived by the human eye.
lv
This problem is overcome in the TSL256x through the use of two photodiodes. One of the photodiodes
(channel 0) is sensitive to both visible and infrared light, while the second photodiode (channel 1) is sensitive
primarily to infrared light. An integrating ADC converts the photodiode currents to digital outputs. Channel 1
digital output is used to compensate for the effect of the infrared component of light on the channel 0 digital
output. The ADC digital outputs from the two channels are used in a formula to obtain a value that approximates
the human eye response in the commonly used Illuminance unit of Lux:
Lux = 0.00713 CH0 − 0.00975 CH1
Lux = 0.00813 CH0 − 0.01250 CH1
Lux = 0.00935 CH0 − 0.01521 CH1
Lux = 0.00394 CH0 − 0.00482 CH1
Lux = 0.00337 CH0 − 0.00396 CH1

The formulas shown above were obtained by optical testing with fluorescent and incandescent light sources,
and apply only to open-air applications. Optical apertures (e.g. light pipes) will affect the incident light on the

Below is the argument and return value including source code (shown on following page) for calculating lux.
The source code is intended for embedded and/or microcontroller applications. Two individual code sets are
provided, one for the chipscale package and one for the TMB package. All floating point arithmetic operations
have been eliminated since embedded controllers and microcontrollers generally do not support these types
of operations. Since floating point has been removed, scaling must be performed prior to calculating illuminance
if the integration time is not 402 ms and/or if the gain is not 16 as denoted in the source code on the following
pages. This sequence scales first to mitigate rounding errors induced by decimal math.

APPLICATION INFORMATION: HARDWARE
Power Supply Decoupling and Application Hardware Circuit
The power supply lines must be decoupled with a 0.1 μF capacitor placed as close to the device package as
possible (Figure 16). The bypass capacitor should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective
series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types, which provide a low impedance path to ground
at high frequencies to handle transient currents caused by internal logic switching.

Pull-up resistors (Rp) maintain the SDAH and SCLH lines at a high level when the bus is free and ensure the
signals are pulled up from a low to a high level within the required rise time. For a complete description of the
SMBus maximum and minimum Rp values, please review the SMBus Specification at

A pull-up resistor (RPI) is also required for the interrupt (INT), which functions as a wired-AND signal in a similar
fashion to the SCL and SDA lines. A typical impedance value between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ can be used. Please
note that while Figure 16 shows INT being pulled up to VDD, the interrupt can optionally be pulled up to VBUS.

Additional Notes for Chipscale
Placement of the TSL2568/TSL2569 chipscale device onto the gold immersion substrate is accomplished using
a standard surface mount manufacturing process. Using a 152-μm stencil with a 0.21 mm square aperture, print
solder paste onto the substrate. Machine-place the TSL2568/TSL2569 from the tape onto the substrate. A
suggest pick-up tool is the Siemens Vacuum Pickup tool nozzle number 912. This nozzle has a rubber tip with
a diameter of approximately 0.75 mm. The part is picked up from the center of the body.

It is important to use a substrate that has an immersion plating surface. This may be immersion gold, solder,
or white tin. Hot air solder leveled (HASL) substrates are not coplanar, making them difficult to work with.

MANUFACTURING INFORMATION
Moisture Sensitivity
al
id
Optical characteristics of the device can be adversely affected during the soldering process by the release and
vaporization of moisture that has been previously absorbed into the package molding compound. To ensure the
package molding compound 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.
