TPS856

Note: Using continuously under heavy loads (e.g. the application of high temperature/current/voltage and the
significant change in temperature, etc.) may cause this product to decrease in the reliability significantly even
if the operating conditions (i.e. operating temperature/current/voltage, etc.) are within the absolute maximum
ratings and the operating ranges.
Please design the appropriate reliability upon reviewing the Toshiba Semiconductor Reliability Handbook
("Handling Precautions"/"Derating Concept and Methods") and individual reliability data (i.e. reliability test
report and estimated failure rate, etc).
Note 1: The reflow time and the recommended temperature profile are shown in the section entitled Handling
Precautions.

The TPS856 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 of TPS856 is superior to that of a phototransistor, and exhibits little variation.

TPS856 has spectral sensitivity closer to luminous efficiency and excellent output linearity.

With its ultra-compact surface-mount package, this photo-IC TPS856 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.

This TPS856 includes stand-by function which can reduce the power consumption.
