DESCRIPTION
The 61120 programmable light-to-frequency converter combines a configurable silicon photodiode and a current-to-
frequency converter on sigil monolithic CMOS integrated circuits. The output can be either a pulse train or a square wave
(50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity. The sensitivity of the device is selectable in three
ranges, providing two decades of adjustment. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by one of four preset values.
All inputs and the output are TTL compatible, allowing direct two-way communication with a microcontroller for
programming and output interface. An output enable /(OE) is provided that places the output in the high-impedance state
for multiple-unit sharing of a microcontroller input line. The device is available with absolute-output-frequency tolerance of
±
20%. Its circuit has been temperature compensated for the ultraviolet-to-visible-light range of 300nm to 700nm. The
device is characterized for operation over the temperature range of -25
°
C to 70
°
C. Glass lens inhibits UV degradation.
