※ 1 White LED is used as optical source.

※ 2 Measurement Accuracy typical value is possible to change '1' by "Measurement result adjustment function".

※ 3 Use H-resolution mode or H-resolution mode2 if dark data ( less than 10 lx ) is need.

Perform thermal design in which there are adequate margins by taking into account the power dissipation ( Pd ) in actual states of use.

The DVI terminal is an asynchronous reset terminal. Please note that there is a possibility that IC doesn't operate normally if the reset section is not installed after the start-up of VCC.

(Please refer to the paragraph of "Timing chart for VCC and DVI power supply sequence" )

The description concerning SDA and the terminal SCL is omitted in this application circuit example. Please design the application the standard of the I2C bus as it finishes being satisfactory. Moreover, the description concerning the terminal ADDR is omitted. Please refer to the paragraph of "Timing chart for VCC and DVI power supply sequence" about the terminal ADDR design.
