Description
The TSL250R, TSL251R, and TSL252R are light-to-voltage optical sensors, each combining a photodiode and a transimpedance amplifier (feedback resistor = 16 M, 8 M, and 2.8 M respectively) on a single monolithic IC. Output voltage is directly proportional to the light intensity (irradiance) on the photodiode. These devices have improved amplifier offset-voltage stability and low power consumption and are supplied in a 3-lead clear plastic sidelooker package with an integral lens

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. NOTES: 1. All voltages are with respect to GND. 2. Output may be shorted to supply.

Measurements are made with RL = 10 k between output and ground. Optical measurements are made using small-angle incident radiation from an LED optical source. The input irradiance Ee is supplied by an AlInGaP LED with peak wavelength p = 635 nm The input irradiance Ee is supplied by a GaAlAs LED with peak wavelength p = 880 nm Irradiance responsivity is characterized over the range VO = 0.05 to 2.9 V. The best-fit straight line of Output Voltage VO versus irradiance Ee over this range will typically have a positive extrapolated VO value for Ee = 0.
