Description
Features
CM32181 is an advanced ambient light sensor with
I2C protocol interface and designed by the CMOS
process. It is easily operated via a simple I2C
command. The active interruption feature within the
threshold windows setting offers the benefit of
eliminating loading of the controller monitor.
• Filtron™ technology adoption :
excellent responsivity : close to real human eye
responses
• High sensitivity:
minimum detectable intensity 0.005 Lux/Bit
supports low transmittance(dark) lens design
• O-Trim™ technology adoption :
ALS output tolerance: ± 10%
• Support various Low power modes.
• Excellent temperature compensation: -40 to 85ºC
• High dynamic detection resolution
• Standard I2C protocol interface
• Interruption feature (INT) support
Programmable interrupt function with upper and
lower thresholds. Adjustable persistence to
prevent false triggers.
• Fluorescent light flicker immunity
• Software shutdown mode control
• Operation voltage from 2.5V to 3.6V
• Ambient light strength detection range over 100K
Lux
• Package: OPLGA (2.35 x 1.8 x 1.0 mm)
• Lead-free package (RoHS compliant)
CM32181 incorporates a photodiode, amplifiers and
analog circuits into a single chip. The best spectral
sensitivity is used to closely capture real human eye
responses. CM32181 has excellent temperature
compensation. Its robust refresh rate setting does not
need an external RC low pass filter. Software
shutdown mode is provided which reduces power
consumption to be less than 0.5μA. CM32181’s
operating voltage ranges from 2.5V to 3.6V and
consumes only 1uA. The maximum detective light
strength is over 167K Lux.
