General Description
The epc110 is a general purpose, fully integrated self-contained
CMOS circuit to be used in light-barrier applications.
The chip contains a controller which drives an LED, typically an IR-
LED. The LED is used in a pulsed mode to increase the signal-to-
noise ratio even when there is very strong sunlight biasing the photo
diode.
It contains also a high sensitive photo diode amplifier and a signal
conditioning circuitry to cancel unwanted environmental light including
strong sunlight and pulsed light sources. The receiver is built around a
synchronous demodulator circuitry. Two output signals with different
threshold levels are implemented in order to trigger the light barrier
output or to indicate light reserve.
The chip also includes a power supply circuitry to establish all
internally required voltages from one source only.
It can be used either as a standalone device, forming the whole core
of an industrial light barrier. It can also be used together with a micro-
controller ( C) for more advance applications.
