SNVS598B August 2010 – March 2018 LM3535
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM3535 incorporates an ambient light sensing interface (ALS) which translates an analog output ambient light sensor to a user specified brightness level. The ambient light sensing circuit has 4 programmable boundaries (ZB0 – ZB3) which define 5 ambient brightness zones. Each ambient brightness zone corresponds to a programmable brightness threshold (Z0T – Z4T).
Furthermore, the ambient light sensing input features 15 internal software-selectable voltage setting resistors. This allows the LM3535 the capability of interfacing with a wide selection of ambient light sensors. Additionally, the ALS inputs can be configured as high impedance, thus providing for a true shutdown during low power modes. The ALS resistors are selectable through the ALS Resistor Select Register (see Table 2). Figure 30 shows a functional block diagram of the ambient light sensor input.
