1. Description
The LTR-329ALS-01 is a low voltage I2C digital light sensor [ALS] in a low cost miniature chipled lead-free surface mount package.
This sensor converts light intensity to a digital output signal capable of direct I2C interface. It provides a linear response over a wide
dynamic range from 0.01 lux to 64k lux and is well suited to applications under high ambient brightness. There are altogether six
gain settings (1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 48X and 96X) available for user to configure.
This CMOS design and factory-set one time trimming capability ensure minimal sensor-to-sensor variations for ease of
manufacturability to the end customers.

Notes:
1) When reading ALS data registers, read sequence should always be from lower address to higher address (E.g. For ALS data,
Ch1 data should be read first followed by Ch0 data. Read sequence should be 0x88, 0x89, 0x8A, 0x8B. When 0x8B is read, all
four ALS data registers will be populated with new set of data).

ALS_CONTR Register (0x80)
The ALS_CONTR register controls the ALS Gain setting, ALS operation modes and software (SW) reset for the sensor. The ALS
sensor can be set to either standby mode or active mode. At either of these modes, the I2C circuitry is always active. The default
mode after power up is standby mode. During standby mode, there is no ALS measurement performed but I2C communication is
allowed to enable read/write to all the registers

ALS_MEAS_RATE Register (0x85)
The ALS_MEAS_RATE register controls the integration time and timing of the periodic measurement of the ALS in active
mode. ALS Measurement Repeat Rate is the interval between ALS_DATA registers update. ALS Integration Time is the
measurement time for each ALS cycle. ALS Integration Time must be set to be equal or smaller than the ALS
Measurement Repeat Rate. If ALS Integration Time is set to be bigger than ALS Measurement Repeat Rate, it will be
automatically reset to be equal to ALS Measurement Repeat Rate by the IC internally.

ALS_DATA_CH1 Register (0x88 / 0x89) (Read Only)
The ALS_DATA registers should be read as a group, with the lower address read back first (i.e. read 0x88 first, then read
0x89). These two registers should also be read before reading channel-0 data (from registers 0x8A, 0x8B). When the I2C
read operation starts, all four ALS data registers are locked until the I2C read operation of register 0x8B is completed. This
will ensure that the data in the registers is from the same measurement even if an additional integration cycle ends during
the read operation. New measurement data is stored into temporary registers and the ALS_DATA registers are updated as
soon as there is no on-going I2C read operation. The ALS ADC channel-1 data is expressed as a 16-bit data spread over
two registers. The ALS_DATA_CH1_0 and ALS_DATA_CH1_1 registers provide the lower and upper byte respectively.

should be read first (i.e read 0x8A first, then read 0x8B). See ALS_DATA_CH1 register information above. The ALS ADC
channel-0 data is expressed as a 16-bit data spread over two registers. The ALS_DATA_CH0_0 and ALS_DATA_CH0_1
registers provide the lower and upper byte respectively.

13. Moisture Proof Packaging
All LTR-329ALS-01 are shipped in moisture proof package. Once opened, moisture absorption begins. This part is
compliant to JEDEC J-STD-033A Level 3.
Time from Unsealing to Soldering
After removal from the moisture barrier bag, the parts should be stored at the recommended storage conditions and
soldered within seven days. When the moisture barrier bag is opened and the parts are exposed to the recommended
storage conditions for more than seven days, the parts must be baked before reflow to prevent damage to the parts.

Recommended Metal Stencil Aperture
It is recommended that the metal stencil used for solder paste printing has a thickness (t) of 0.11mm (0.004 inches / 4 mils)
or 0.127mm (0.005 inches / 5 mils).
The stencil aperture opening is recommended to be 0.72mm x 0.60mm which has the same dimension as the land
pattern. This is to ensure adequate printed solder paste volume and yet no shorting.
Note:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters
