65535 lx ).
●Features
2
1) I
C bus Interface ( f / s Mode Support, Slave address "0101001". )
2) There are two outputs that peaks of a spectrum response are in visible light (Type0) and in infrared light (Type1).
3) Illuminance to Digital Converter

Initial reset is not necessary, because power on reset function is included in this product. 2) Software reset command All registers are reset and BH1730FVC becomes power down by Software reset command.

  • Page 12 ●Lux calculation from DATA0 and DATA1 BH1730FVC has two outputs, DATA0 (14h, 15h) for detecting visible light and infrared light, and DATA1 (16h, 17h) for detecting infrared light. Lux value can be calculated by using these two outputs. The calculation formula depends on the characteristic of optical window.
  • Page 13 BH1730FVC ● Interrupt function Interrupt function compares measurement result to preset interrupt threshold level. BH1730FVC uses two threshold level (upper and lower ). If measurement result is outside of two threshold, INT pin outputs ’L’. Interrupt threshold is defined at Interrupt threshold registers ( 03h - 06h ).
  • Page 14 ●Caution of power on reset function BH1730FVC has power on reset ( POR ) function. POR is to reset all register and flip flop when VCC Power supplies. There is some cautions about power on and down sequence seeing in below.
  • Page 15 ●ALS sensitivity adjustment function BH1730FVC is possible to change ALS sensitivity. And it is possible to cancel the optical window influence (difference with / without optical window ) by using this function. Adjustment is done by changing measurement time. For example, when transmission rate of optical window is 50% (measurement result becomes 0.5 times if optical window is set), influence of...
