The ISL58327 photo sensor IC has a wide optical spectral
sensitivity from 400nm to 1000nm. It is good for multiple light
source applications, such as laser based projectors. The
ISL58327 has two banks of three sets of gain registers. For a
Pico-Projector application, the two banks of gain registers can
be used to monitor the bias level and peak level of each
wavelength. Bank switching is done by applying a TTL
compatible logic signal to the HL pin. The three sets of gain
registers can be used to adjust optical-to-electrical conversion
gain for each RED, GREEN, and BLUE laser or any wavelength
in a spectral range for application. The ISL58327 is a single
die device that has a photo detector of 0.7mm diameter in the
center of the die. The photo current signal is amplified through
the TIA, fine gain amplifier, and the output drivers to convert
from current to voltage. The output of ISL58327 can be
configured to be either differential or single-ended. Gain
changing according to each wavelength is done through the
I2C serial interface. Registers can be updated in real time
while the device is in operation.
