Electronic Components & Devices

Light-to-Voltage Converters simplify board design.

TSL12, TSL13, and TSL14 integrate photodiode, transimpedance amplifier, and gain-setting resistors, while providing analog-output voltage proportional to light intensity. Devices operate in 3-5 V range, have spectral sensitivity range of 350-1050 nm, and require supply current of only 1.1 mA, typical. Operating temperature is -25 to +85-°C. Rise time for TSL12, TSL13, and TSL14 is 20, 8, and 3...
