The TPS850 is a linear-output photo-IC which incorporates a photodiode and a current amp circuit in a single chip. This photo-IC is current output type, so can set up output voltage freely by arbitrary load resistance.

• High sensitivity: IL = 230 µA
   @EV = 100 lx (typ.) Using the fluorescent light
• Little fluctuation in light current
   : Width range = x1 to x1.6 (typ. ±25%)
• Output linearity of illuminance is excellent
• Open-emitter output
• Compact and light surface-mount package
• Pb-free
