3V Wide Optical Spectrum Laser Power Monitor IC
ISL58334
The ISL58334 photo sensor IC has a wide optical spectral 
sensitivity from 400nm to 1000nm. It is good for multiple light 
sources application, such as laser based projectors. ISL58334 
has two banks of three sets of gain registers. For a Pico-
Projector application, the two banks of gain resistors can be 
used to monitor bias level and peak level of each wavelength. 
Bank switching is done by applying a TTL compatible logic 
signal to HL pin. The three sets of gain registers can be used to 
adjust optical-to-electrical conversion gain for each RED, 
GREEN, and BLUE laser or any wavelength in a spectral range 
for application. The ISL58334 is a single die device that has a 
photo detector of 0.7mm diameter in the center of the die. 
Photo current signal is amplified through TIA, fine gain 
amplifier, and output drivers to convert from current to voltage. 
The output of the ISL58334 can be configured to be either 
differential or single-ended. Gain changing according to each 
wavelength is done through 3-wire interface. Registers can be 
updated in real time while the device is in operation.
The ISL58334 operates from a single +3.3V supply. It is 
available in a space-saving 9 ball glass top BGA package.
