The temperature profile is divided into four process zones, each with different DT/Dtime temperature change rates. The DT/Dtime rates are detailed in the above table. The temperatures are measured at the component to printed circuit board connections. In process zone P1, the PC board and APDS-9002 castellation pins are heated to a temperature of 160°C to activate the flux in the solder paste. The temperature ramp up rate, R1, is limited to 4°C per second to allow for even heating of both the PC board and APDS-9002 castellations. 9 Process zone P2 should be of sufficient time duration (60 to 120 seconds) to dry the solder paste. The temperature is raised to a level just below the liquidus point of the solder, usually 200°C (392°F). Process zone P3 is the solder reflow zone. In zone P3, the temperature is quickly raised above the liquidus point of solder to 255°C (491°F) for optimum results. The dwell time above the liquidus point of solder should be between 20 and 60 seconds. It usually takes about 20 seconds to assure proper coalescing of the solder balls into liquid solder and the formation of good solder connections. Beyond a dwell time of 60 seconds, the intermetallic growth within the solder connections becomes excessive, resulting in the formation of weak and unreliable connections. The temperature is then rapidly reduced to a point below the solidus temperature of the solder, usually 200°C (392°F), to allow the solder within the connections to freeze solid. Process zone P4 is the cool down after solder freeze. The cool down rate, R5, from the liquidus point of the solder to 25°C (77°F) should not exceed 6°C per second maximum. This limitation is necessary to allow the PC board and APDS-9002 castellations to change dimensions evenly, putting minimal stresses on the APDS-9002.

There is a constraint on the minimum size of the window, which is placed in front of the photo light sensor, so that it will not affect the angular response of the APDS-9002. This minimum dimension that is recommended will ensure at least a ±35° light reception cone. If a smaller window is required, a light pipe or light guide can be used. A light pipe or light guide is a cylindrical piece of transparent plastic, which makes use of total internal reflection to focus the light. FLAT PHOTO LIGHT SENSOR Figure 12(a). Window size determination for flat window. Figure 12(b). Window design of flat window with light guide. 12 The thickness of the window should be kept as minimum as possible because there is a loss of power in every optical window of about 8% due to reflection (4% on each side) and an additional loss of energy in the plastic material. Figures 12(a) and 12(b) illustrate the two types of windows that we have recommended which could either be a flat window or a flat window with light guide. The window should be placed directly on top of the photo light sensor to achieve better performance and if a flat Table 1 and Figure 13 below show the recommended dimensions of the window. These dimension values are based on a window thickness of 1.0 mm with a refractive index 1.585. window with a light pipe is used, dimension D2 should be 1.5 mm to optimize the performance of APDS-9002.

APDS-9002 consists of a phototransistor that enables the photo sensor to produce a high gain photo current to a sufficient level that can be converted to voltage with a standard value of external resistor. APDS-9002 is then easily integrated into systems that use ADC input which is available for sampling of the external source, as shown in Figure 14 below. The amount of converted voltage, VOUT, is mainly dependant proportionally on the photo current which is generated by the brightness of the light shone on the photo sensor and the load resistor used, RL. Increasing the brightness of the light and/or the load resistor will increase the output voltage. Brightness is measured as “LUX” unit, which describes how intense a light source that our eyes perceive. LUX meter is the equipment for “LUX” measurement. Light sources with the same LUX level appear at the same brightness to the human eyes. VCC VCC 2 3 LIGHT SOURCE APDS-9002 VOUT 1 C 4 A/D RL MICROCONTROLLER NC Figure 14. Configuration of APDS-9002 being used directly. Light source, e.g., fluorescent light, consists of ac noise about 100 Hz frequency. A capacitor of 10 µF, which acts as a low-pass filter, is recommended to add in parallel with resistor to by-pass the ripples. 14 10 OUTPUT VOLTAGE, VOUT (V) Selection of the load resistor RL will determine the amount of current-to-voltage conversion in the circuit. Based on Figure 14 and using white LED as the light source, measurement has been carried out by using different load resistors to examine the variation of the output voltage towards the intense of LUX. The result is shown in Graph 1. APDS-9002 allows output voltage hits around 2.3 V, after this it saturates.
