Mikroelektronika MIKROE-990 LightHz Click Board TSL230BR Light-to-Frequency Converter

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-990):

The Mikroelektronika MIKROE-990 LightHz Click Board is an accessory board in mikroBUS form factor. It features the TSL230BR programmable light-to-frequency converter. The output can be either a pulse train or a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity. Device sensitivity is selectable in three ranges, providing two decades of adjustment. The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by one of four preset values. The board features a voltage selection SMD jumper which determines whether it will operate on 5V or 3.3V power supply. Suitable for high-resolution conversion of light intensity to frequency with no external components. Key features include an absolute output frequency tolerance of ±5% and all inputs and the output are TTL compatible. Benefits include temperature compensation for the ultraviolet-to-visible light range of 320 nm to 700 nm and response over the light range of 320 nm to 1050 nm. Interface: GPIO. Input Voltage: 3.3V or 5V. Compatibility: mikroBUS. Click board size: S (28.6 x 25.4 mm).
