Description
S1 2
The TCS3200 and TCS3210 programmable color
light-to-frequency converters that combine configurable silicon photodiodes and a current-to-frequency converter on a single monolithic CMOS
integrated circuit. The output is a square wave
(50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance).

The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by one of three preset values via two control input pins. Digital
inputs and digital output allow direct interface to a microcontroller or other logic circuitry. Output enable (OE)
places the output in the high-impedance state for multiple-unit sharing of a microcontroller input line.
In the TCS3200, the light-to-frequency converter reads an 8 × 8 array of photodiodes. Sixteen photodiodes have
blue filters, 16 photodiodes have green filters, 16 photodiodes have red filters, and 16 photodiodes are clear
with no filters.
In the TCS3210, the light-to-frequency converter reads a 4 × 6 array of photodiodes. Six photodiodes have blue
filters, 6 photodiodes have green filters, 6 photodiodes have red filters, and 6 photodiodes are clear with no
filters.
ca
The four types (colors) of photodiodes are interdigitated to minimize the effect of non-uniformity of incident
irradiance. All photodiodes of the same color are connected in parallel. Pins S2 and S3 are used to select which
group of photodiodes (red, green, blue, clear) are active. Photodiodes are 110 μm × 110 μm in size and are on
134-μm centers.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Power supply considerations
Power-supply lines must be decoupled by a 0.01-μF to 0.1-μF capacitor with short leads mounted close to the
device package.
Input interface
al
id
A low-impedance electrical connection between the device OE pin and the device GND pin is required for
improved noise immunity. All input pins must be either driven by a logic signal or connected to VDD or GND —
they should not be left unconnected (floating).
Output interface
lv
The output of the device is designed to drive a standard TTL or CMOS logic input over short distances. If lines
greater than 12 inches are used on the output, a buffer or line driver is recommended.
Power down
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
A high state on Output Enable (OE) places the output in a high-impedance state for multiple-unit sharing of a
microcontroller input line.
Powering down the sensor using S0/S1 (L/L) will cause the output to be held in a high-impedance state. This
is similar to the behavior of the output enable pin, however powering down the sensor saves significantly more
power than disabling the sensor with the output enable pin.
Photodiode type (color) selection
The type of photodiode (blue, green, red, or clear) used by the device is controlled by two logic inputs, S2 and
S3 (see Table 1).
Output frequency scaling
ca
Output-frequency scaling is controlled by two logic inputs, S0 and S1. The internal light-to-frequency converter
generates a fixed-pulsewidth pulse train. Scaling is accomplished by internally connecting the pulse-train output
of the converter to a series of frequency dividers. Divided outputs are 50%-duty cycle square waves with relative
frequency values of 100%, 20%, and 2%. Because division of the output frequency is accomplished by counting
pulses of the principal internal frequency, the final-output period represents an average of the multiple periods
of the principle frequency.
ch
ni
The output-scaling counter registers are cleared upon the next pulse of the principal frequency after any
transition of the S0, S1, S2, S3, and OE lines. The output goes high upon the next subsequent pulse of the
principal frequency, beginning a new valid period. This minimizes the time delay between a change on the input
lines and the resulting new output period. The response time to an input programming change or to an irradiance
step change is one period of new frequency plus 1 μs. The scaled output changes both the full-scale frequency
and the dark frequency by the selected scale factor.
Te
The frequency-scaling function allows the output range to be optimized for a variety of measurement
techniques. The scaled-down outputs may be used where only a slower frequency counter is available, such
as low-cost microcontroller, or where period measurement techniques are used.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Measuring the frequency
The choice of interface and measurement technique depends on the desired resolution and data acquisition
rate. For maximum data-acquisition rate, period-measurement techniques are used.
al
id
Output data can be collected at a rate of twice the output frequency or one data point every microsecond for
full-scale output. Period measurement requires the use of a fast reference clock with available resolution directly
related to reference clock rate. Output scaling can be used to increase the resolution for a given clock rate or
to maximize resolution as the light input changes. Period measurement is used to measure rapidly varying light
levels or to make a very fast measurement of a constant light source.
PCB Pad Layout
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
lv
Maximum resolution and accuracy may be obtained using frequency-measurement, pulse-accumulation, or
integration techniques. Frequency measurements provide the added benefit of averaging out random- or
high-frequency variations (jitter) resulting from noise in the light signal. Resolution is limited mainly by available
counter registers and allowable measurement time. Frequency measurement is well suited for slowly varying
or constant light levels and for reading average light levels over short periods of time. Integration (the
accumulation of pulses over a very long period of time) can be used to measure exposure, the amount of light
present in an area over a given time period.
Suggested PCB pad layout guidelines for the D package are shown in Figure 6.

The solder reflow profile describes the expected maximum heat exposure of components during the solder
reflow process of product on a PCB. Temperature is measured on top of component. The component should
be limited to a maximum of three passes through this solder reflow profile.

STORAGE 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. To ensure the package contains
the smallest amount of absorbed moisture possible, each device is baked prior to being dry packed for shipping.
Devices are dry 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.
Shelf Life
The calculated shelf life of the device in an unopened moisture barrier bag is 12 months from the date code on
the bag when stored under the following conditions:
lv
Shelf Life: 12 months
Ambient Temperature: < 40°C
Relative Humidity: < 90%
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
Rebaking of the devices will be required if the devices exceed the 12 month shelf life or the Humidity Indicator
Card shows that the devices were exposed to conditions beyond the allowable moisture region.
Floor Life
The D package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 5a. As a result, the floor life of devices
removed from the moisture barrier bag is 24 hours from the time the bag was opened, provided that the devices
are stored under the following conditions:
Floor Life: 24 hours
Ambient Temperature: < 30°C
Relative Humidity: < 60%
If the floor life or the temperature/humidity conditions have been exceeded, the devices must be rebaked prior
to solder reflow or dry packing.
Rebaking Instructions
Te
ch
ni
ca
When the shelf life or floor life limits have been exceeded, rebake at 60°C for 24 hours.
