Description
The TSLB257, TSLG257, and TSLR257 are high-sensitivity low-noise light-to-voltage optical converters that
incorporate onboard blue, green, and red optical filters, respectively. These devices combine a photodiode and
a transimpedance amplifier on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit with a color filter over the photodiode.
Output voltage is directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance) on the photodiode. Each device has a
transimpedance gain of 320 MΩ with improved offset voltage stability and low power consumption, and is
supplied in a 3-lead clear plastic sidelooker package with an integral lens.
These devices are ideal for applications such as colorimetry, printing process control, display color correction,
and selectively ambient light detection or rejection.

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: 2. Measured with R
L

4. The input irradiance is supplied by an InGaN light-emitting diode with the following characteristics: peak wavelength

p

O
= 0.1 V to 4.5 V. The best-fit straight line of Output Voltage V
O
versus Irradiance
E
e
over this range will typically have a positive extrapolated V
O
value for E
e

λ
p
= 565 nm,
spectral halfwidth
∆λ½

2
.
10. Power supply rejection ratio PSRR is defined as 20 log (∆V
