DESCRIPTION

This device incorporates an integral photodiode, amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and internally pulled-up output stage. An on-chip voltage regulator allows operation over a wide range of available supply voltage. The phase of thedigital output is considered to be the same as the optical input, so that the output is HI when the light source isON, and the output is LOW when the light source is OFF.An adjust pin (ADJ) is provided to allow the user to alter the optical threshold at which the output changes state.Decreasing the resistance between this pin and ground causes the output to switch at higher and higher inputlevels, to a maximum of about 1.66mW/cm 2 , or about 3.5µW on the photodiode.
