The TPS852 is an ultra-compact surface-mount photo-IC for illuminance sensors which incorporates a photodiode and current amp circuit in a single chip.
The sensitivity is superior to that of a phototransistor, and exhibits little variation.
It has spectral sensitivity closer to luminous efficiency and excellent output linearity.
With its ultra-compact surface-mount package, this photo-IC can be used as the power-saving control for domestic appliances or for backlighting for displays in cellular phones, this device enables low power consumption to be achieved.

• Ultra-compact and light surface-mount package: 1.6 × 1.6 × 0.55 mm
• Excellent output linearity of illuminance
• Little fluctuation in light current and high level of sensitivity
   : IL = 40 μA (typ.) @EV = 100 lx using fluorescent light
   : Light current variation width: ×1.67 (when light current classification is specified.)
   : Little temperature fluctuation
• Built-in luminous-efficiency correction function, reduced sensitivity variations due to various light sources
   : IL (using incandescent light)/IL (using fluorescent light) = 1.2 (typ.)
• Low supply voltage, making device suitable for battery-powered equipment: VCC = 2.7 V to 5.5 V
• Lead(Pb)-Free
