U32 provides an accurate, regulated voltage that is used as the reference voltage for the A/D inside the
CPU. Filtering is provided by C6, C12, and R124. The voltage output VREF is 5 V.
9.10.17 Ambient Light
The ambient light circuit is illustrated in Figure 9-27.
Diode D8 is a photodiode that is used to measure ambient light. Q8, R68, and R136 provide current
gain for D8 photocurrent. The amplified photocurrent flowing through R136 creates a voltage drop,
which is measured by the CPU. The CPU continually monitors the light source output at
AMB_LIGHT (TP72). Under low ambient light conditions, the CPU automatically switches on the
display backlight.
9.10.18 Ambient Temperature
The ambient temperature circuit is illustrated in Figure 9-28.
