It is packaged in clear MSOP package. Microsemi also offers the LX1971 with the same pin out and similar supply voltage range as LX1970 light sensor. The LX1971 responsiveness however differs from that of the LX1970. In general the LX1971 has lower sensitivity and a wider dynamic range. The LX1970 has a responsiveness that is directly proportional to the intensity of light falling on the photo receptors. Although the gain varies depending on the wavelength of the light and the direction of light, in general for a 555nm wavelength (yellow-green), the sensitivity is: A L I OUT µ 76 . 0 × = for L < 1200 lux The LX1970 is best suited for applications where the light sensor is an integral part of a continuous lighting control system. For example, in an LCD backlighting application, the level of brightness of the backlight should be adjusted in proportion to the level of ambient lighting; the LX1970 can provide closed loop brightness control for this type of system. For most indoor applications, the 1200 lux saturation point of the LX1970 is usually not a limiting affect. The LX1971 is best suited for applications where the system must respond to external events that affect the user’s ability to see clearly. For example, a sensor to turn on headlights or a sensor to adjust the reflectivity of a rear view mirrors. These systems require the sensor to have dynamic range similar to sight. Like the human eye, the square root function of the LX1971 makes it extra sensitive to small changes at lower light levels. The wide dynamic range allows the LX1971 to sense the difference between twilight and daylight or sunshine and heavy cloud cover. The first curve shows the calculated responsiveness of the LX1970 without load resistors based on the formula above. It can be used as baseline guidelines to calculate gain setting resistors. The compliance of the current source output may result in premature saturation of the output when load resistors are added. The SRC compliance voltage is specified typically at VDD-350mV @ about 100 lux. The second curve shows saturation of the output with VIN = 5V and a 10K resistor SRC to ground, above about 300uA the output becomes non-linear as it begins to saturate.
