TSL2584TSV
The TSL2584TSV is a very-high sensitivity light-to-digital converter that transforms light intensity
into a digital signal output. The device combines one broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared),
one infrared-responding photodiode, and a photopic infrared-blocking filter on a single CMOS
integrated circuit.
Initial hardware setup
The software should be installed prior to connecting any hardware to the computer. Follow the
instructions found in the Quick Start Guide (QSG). This will load the required driver for the USB
interface and also the control software and graphical user interface (GUI).
The hardware consists of the EVM Controller v2.1a or v2.1c, the TSL2584TSV EVM daughterboard,
a USB interface cable and USB Memory Stick.
When the USB cable is connected, the green LED should flash indicating that power is being
received via the USB interface, and the controller board processor is running. If the green LED does
not flash, check the USB cable connections; unplug the USB cable and try again. If the green LED
still does not flash, check the PC for USB error messages.
