TCS3771
Color Light-To-Digital Converter with
Proximity Sensing
The TCS3771 family of devices provides red, green, blue, and
clear (RGBC) light sensing and proximity detection (when
coupled with an external IR LED). They detect light intensity
under a variety of lighting conditions and through a variety of
attenuation materials. The proximity detection feature allows a
large dynamic range of operation for use in short distance
detection behind dark glass such as in a cell phone or for longer
distance measurements for applications such as presence
detection for monitors or laptops. The programmable proximity
detection enables continuous measurements across the entire
range. In addition, an internal state machine provides the ability
to put the device into a low power mode in between RGBC and
proximity measurements providing very low average power
consumption.
The TCS3771 is directly useful in lighting conditions containing
minimal IR content such as LED RGB backlight control, reflected
LED color sampler, or fluorescent light color temperature
detector. With the addition of an IR blocking filter, the device is
an excellent ambient light sensor, color temperature monitor,
and general purpose color sensor.
The proximity function is targeted specifically towards
battery-powered mobile devices, LCD monitor, laptop, and
flat-panel television applications. In cell phones, the proximity
detection can detect when the user positions the phone close
to their ear. The device is fast enough to provide proximity
information at a high repetition rate needed when answering
a phone call. It can also detect both close and far distances so
the application can implement more complex algorithms to
provide a more robust interface. In laptop or monitor
applications, the product is sensitive enough to determine
whether a user is in front of the laptop using the keyboard or
away from the desk. This provides both improved green power
saving capability and the added security to lock the computer
when the user is not present.

TCS3771 − Detailed Description
The TCS3771 light-to-digital device contains a 4 × 4 photodiode
array, integrating amplifiers, ADCs, accumulators, clocks,
buffers, comparators, a state machine, and an I2C interface. The
4 × 4 photodiode array is composed of red-filtered,
green-filtered, blue-filtered, and clear photodiodes - four of
each type. Four integrating ADCs simultaneously convert the
amplified photodiode currents to a digital value providing up
to 16 bits of resolution. Upon completion of the conversion
cycle, the conversion result is transferred to the data registers.
The transfers are double-buffered to ensure that the integrity
of the data is maintained. Communication to the device is
accomplished through a fast (up to 400kHz), two-wire I2C serial
bus for easy connection to a microcontroller or embedded
controller.
The TCS3771 provides a separate pin for level-style interrupts.
When interrupts are enabled and a preset value is exceeded,
the interrupt pin is asserted and remains asserted until cleared
by the controlling firmware. The interrupt feature simplifies and
improves system efficiency by eliminating the need to poll a
sensor for a light intensity or proximity value. An interrupt is
generated when the value of an RGBC or proximity conversion
exceeds either an upper or lower threshold. In addition, a
programmable interrupt persistence feature allows the user to
determine how many consecutive exceeded thresholds are
necessary to trigger an interrupt. Interrupt thresholds and
persistence settings are configured independently for both
RGBC and proximity.
Proximity detection requires only a single external IR LED. An
internal LED driver can be configured to provide a constant
current sink of 12.5mA, 25mA, 50mA or 100mA of current. No
external current limiting resistor is required. The number of
proximity LED pulses can be programmed from 1 to 255 pulses.
Each pulse has a 14s period. This LED current coupled with the
programmable number of pulses provides a 2000:1 contiguous
dynamic range.

TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
System State Machine
The TCS3771 provides control of RGBC, proximity detection,
and power management functionality through an internal state
machine (Figure 19). After a power-on-reset, the device is in the
sleep mode. As soon as the PON bit is set, the device will move
to the start state. It will then continue through the Prox, Wait,
and RGBC states. If these states are enabled, the device will
execute each function. If the PON bit is set to 0, the state
machine will continue until all conversions are completed and
then go into a low power sleep mode.
Figure 19:
Simplified State Diagram
Note(s): In this document, the nomenclature uses the bit field
name in italics followed by the register number and bit number
to allow the user to easily identify the register and bit that
controls the function. For example, the power on (PON) is in
register 0, bit 0. This is represented as PON (r0:b0).
Principles of Operation

TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
RGBC Operation
The RGBC engine contains RGBC gain control (AGAIN) and four
integrating analog-to-digital converters (ADC) for the RGBC
photodiodes. The RGBC integration time (ATIME) impacts both
the resolution and the sensitivity of the RGBC reading.
Integration of all four channels occurs simultaneously and upon
completion of the conversion cycle, the results are transferred
to the color data registers. This data is also referred to as channel
count. The transfers are double-buffered to ensure that invalid
data is not read during the transfer. After the transfer, the device
automatically moves to the next state in accordance with the
configured state machine.
Figure 20:
RGBC Operation
The registers for programming the integration and wait times
are a 2’s compliment values. The actual time can be calculated
as follows:
ATIME = 256 - Integration Time / 2.4ms
Inversely, the time can be calculated from the register value as
follows:
Integration Time = 2.4ms × (256 - ATIME)
For example, if a 100-ms integration time is needed, the device
needs to be programmed to:
256 - (100 / 2.4) = 256 - 42 = 214 = 0xD6
Conversely, the programmed value of 0xC0 would correspond
to:
(256 - 0xC0) × 2.4 = 64 × 2.4 = 154ms

Document Feedback [v1-31] 2018-Apr-04
TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
Proximity Detection
Proximity sensing uses an external light source (generally an
infrared emitter) to emit light, which is then viewed by the
integrated light detector to measure the amount of reflected
light when an object is in the light path (Figure 21). The amount
of light detected from a reflected surface can then be used to
determine an object’s proximity to the sensor.
Figure 21:
Proximity Detection
The TCS3771 has controls for the number of IR pulses
(PPCOUNT), the integration time (PTIME), the LED drive current
(PDRIVE) and the photodiode configuration (PDIODE). The
photodiode configuration can be set to red diode
(recommended), clear diode, or a combination of both diodes.
At the end of the integration cycle, the results are latched into
the proximity data (PDATA) register.
Figure 22:
Proximity Detection Operation
ams Datasheet Page 19
[v1-31] 2018-Apr-04 Document Feedback
TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
The LED drive current is controlled by a regulated current sink
on the LDR pin. This feature eliminates the need to use a current
limiting resistor to control LED current. The LED drive current
can be configured for 12.5mA, 25mA, 50mA, or 100mA. For
higher LED drive requirements, an external P-FET transistor can
be used to control the LED current.
The number of LED pulses can be programmed to any value
between 1 and 255 pulses as needed. Increasing the number of
LED pulses at a given current will increase the sensor sensitivity.
Sensitivity grows by the square root of the number of pulses.
Each pulse has a 14s period.
Figure 23:
Proximity IR LED Waveform
The proximity integration time (PTIME) is the period of time that
the internal ADC converts the analog signal to a digital count.
It is recommend that this be set to a minimum of PTIME = 0xFF
or 2.4ms.

Document Feedback [v1-31] 2018-Apr-04
TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
The combination of LED power and number of pulses can be
used to control the distance at which the sensor can detect
proximity. Figure 24 shows an example of the distances covered
with settings such that each curve covers 2× the distance.
Counts up to 64 pulses provide a 16× range.
Figure 24:
Proximity ADC Count vs. Relative Distance
Interrupts
The interrupt feature simplifies and improves system efficiency
by eliminating the need to poll the sensor for light intensity or
proximity values outside of a user-defined range. While the
interrupt function is always enabled and it’s status is available
in the status register (0x13), the output of the interrupt state
can be enabled using the proximity interrupt enable (PIEN) or
RGBC interrupt enable (AIEN) fields in the Enable Register
(0x00).
Four 16-bit interrupt threshold registers allow the user to set
limits below and above a desired light level and proximity
range. An interrupt can be generated when the RGBC Clear data
(CDATA) falls outside of the desired light level range, as
determined by the values in the RGBC interrupt low threshold
registers (AILTx) and RGBC interrupt high threshold registers
(AIHTx). Likewise, an out-of-range proximity interrupt can be
generated when the proximity data (PDATA) falls below the
ams Datasheet Page 21

TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
proximity interrupt low threshold (PILTx) or exceeds the
proximity interrupt high threshold (PIHTx). It is important to
note that the low threshold value must be less than the high
threshold value for proper operation.
To further control when an interrupt occurs, the device provides
a persistence filter. The persistence filter allows the user to
specify the number of consecutive out-of-range RGBC or
proximity occurrences before an interrupt is generated. The
persistence register (0x0C) allows the user to set the RGBC
persistence (APERS) and the proximity persistence (PPERS)
values. See the persistence register for details on the
persistence filter values. Once the persistence filter generates
an interrupt, it will continue until a special function interrupt
clear command is received (see Command Register).

TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
State Diagram
Figure 26 shows a more detailed flow for the state machine. The
device starts in the sleep mode. The PON bit is written to enable
the device. A 2.4ms delay will occur before entering the start
state. If the PEN bit is set, the state machine will step through
the proximity states of proximity accumulate and then
proximity ADC conversion. As soon as the conversion is
complete, the state machine will move to the following state.
If the WEN bit is set, the state machine will then cycle through
the wait state. If the WLONG bit is set, the wait cycles are
extended by 12× over normal operation. When the wait counter
terminates, the state machine will step to the RGBC state.
The AEN should always be set, even in proximity-only operation.
In this case, a minimum of 1 integration time step should be
programmed. The RGBC state machine will continue until it
reaches the terminal count at which point the data will be
latched in the RGBC register and the interrupt set, if enabled.

TCS3771 − Principles of Operation
I2C Protocol
Interface and control are accomplished through an I2C serial
compatible interface (standard or fast mode) to a set of registers
that provide access to device control functions and output data.
The devices support the 7-bit I2C addressing protocol.
The I2C standard provides for three types of bus transaction:
read, write, and a combined protocol (Figure 27). During a write
operation, the first byte written is a command byte followed by
data. In a combined protocol, the first byte written is the
command byte followed by reading a series of bytes. If a read
command is issued, the register address from the previous
command will be used for data access. Likewise, if the MSB of
the command is not set, the device will write a series of bytes
at the address stored in the last valid command with a register
address. The command byte contains either control information
or a 5-bit register address. The control commands can also be
used to clear interrupts.
The I2C bus protocol was developed by Philips (now NXP). For
a complete description of the I2C protocol, please review the
NXP I2C design specification at
http://www.i2c-bus.org/references.

RGBC Channel Data Registers (0x14 − 0x1B)
Clear, red, green, and blue data is stored as 16-bit values. To
ensure the data is read correctly, a two-byte read I2C transaction
should be used with a read word protocol bit set in the
Command Register. With this operation, when the lower byte
register is read, the upper eight bits are stored into a shadow
register, which is read by a subsequent read to the upper byte.
The upper register will read the correct value even if additional
ADC integration cycles end between the reading of the lower
and upper registers.

TCS3771 − Application Information
LED Driver Pin with Proximity Detection
In a proximity sensing system, the IR LED can be pulsed by the
TCS3771 with more than 100mA of rapidly switching current,
therefore, a few design considerations must be kept in mind to
get the best performance. The key goal is to reduce the power
supply noise coupled back into the device during the LED
pulses.
The first recommendation is to use two power supplies; one for
the device VDD and the other for the IR LED. In many systems,
there is a quiet analog supply and a noisy digital supply. By
connecting the quiet supply to the VDD pin and the noisy supply
to the LED, the key goal can be meet. Place a 1F low-ESR
decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the VDD pin and
another at the LED anode, and a 22F capacitor at the output
of the LED voltage regulator to supply the 100mA current surge.
Figure 44:
Proximity Sensing Using Separate Power Supplies
If it is not possible to provide two separate power supplies, the
device can be operated from a single supply. A 22 resistor in
series with the VDD supply line and a 1F low ESR capacitor
effectively filter any power supply noise. The previous capacitor
placement considerations apply.

VBUS in the above figures refers to the I2C bus voltage which is
either VDD or 1.8V. Be sure to apply the specified I2C bus voltage
shown in the Available Options table for the specific device
being used.
The I2C signals and the Interrupt are open-drain outputs and
require pull−up resistors. The pull-up resistor (RP) value is a
function of the I2C bus speed, the I2C bus voltage, and the
capacitive load. The ams EVM running at 400kbps, uses 1.5k
resistors. A 10k pull-up resistor (RPI) can be used for the
interrupt line.

Moisture Sensitivity
Optical characteristics of the device can be adversely affected
during the soldering process by the release and vaporization of
moisture that has been previously absorbed into the package.
To ensure the package contains the smallest amount of
absorbed moisture possible, each device is dry-baked prior to
being packed for shipping. Devices are packed in a sealed
aluminized envelope called a moisture barrier bag with silica
gel to protect them from ambient moisture during shipping,
handling, and storage before use.
The FN package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level
of MSL 3 and the devices should be stored under the following
conditions:
Temperature Range: 5°C to 50°C
Relative Humidity: 60% maximum
Total Time: 12 months from the date code on the
aluminized envelope - if unopened
Opened Time: 168 hours or fewer
Rebaking will be required if the devices have been stored
unopened for more than 12 months or if the aluminized
envelope has been open for more than 168 hours. If rebaking
is required, it should be done at 50°C for 12 hours.
