Overview

The Digilent PmodALS demonstrates light-to-digital sensing through a single ambient light sensor. Digilent

engineers designed this Pmod around the Texas Instrument's ADC081S021 analog-to-digital converter and the

Vishay Semiconductor's TEMT6000X01.

1 Functional Description

The PmodALS utilizes a single ambient light sensor (ALS) for user input. The amount of light the ALS is exposed to

determines the voltage level passed into the ADC, which converts it to 8 bits of data. A value of 0 indicates a low

light level and a value of 255 indicates a high light level.

2 Interfacing with the Pmod

The PmodALS communicates with the host board via the SPI protocol. Since the on-board analog-to-digital

converter is a read-only module, the only wires in the SPI protocol that are required are the Chip Select, Master-In-

Slave-Out, and Serial Clock lines. The location of each of these lines on the Pmod header are shown in the table

below.
