Abstract

Electronic devices that use light sensors are becoming more prevalent in applications such as smart watches, laptops, TVs, automotive displays, and video surveillance cameras. TI's light sensor portfolio includes devices to measure photopic, broad, and light color spectrums. A standalone evaluation test is needed to make sure that the light sensors are working as expected before being mounted on a board (flex or non-flex PCB) for production use. TI's standalone test platform evaluates light sensors without external computers or hardware. Optionally, custom evaluation platforms are another method to test. This application note describes how to build a standalone evaluation test, including material inspection, hardware design considerations, and the assembly of test platforms.
