Description
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.
The ISL58327 operates from a single +5V supply. It is available in a space-saving 9-ball glass top BGA package.
