The TSL250R, TSL251R, and TSL252R are light-to-voltage optical sensors, each combining a photodiode and
a transimpedance amplifier (feedback resistor = 16 MΩ, 8 MΩ, and 2.8 MΩ 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. When supplied in the lead (Pb) free package, the device is
RoHS compliant.

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.
