Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
BH1770GLC and SFH7770 are combined ambient light and proximity sensors.
|
|
ALS and proximity parts operates on their own, but they shares common I2C
|
|
interface and interrupt logic. In principle they can run on their own,
|
|
but ALS side results are used to estimate reliability of the proximity sensor.
|
|
|
|
ALS produces 16 bit lux values. The chip contains interrupt logic to produce
|
|
low and high threshold interrupts.
|
|
|
|
Proximity part contains IR-led driver up to 3 IR leds. The chip measures
|
|
amount of reflected IR light and produces proximity result. Resolution is
|
|
8 bit. Driver supports only one channel. Driver uses ALS results to estimate
|
|
reliability of the proximity results. Thus ALS is always running while
|
|
proximity detection is needed.
|
|
|
|
Driver uses threshold interrupts to avoid need for polling the values.
|
|
Proximity low interrupt doesn't exists in the chip. This is simulated
|
|
by using a delayed work. As long as there is proximity threshold above
|
|
interrupts the delayed work is pushed forward. So, when proximity level goes
|
|
below the threshold value, there is no interrupt and the delayed work will
|
|
finally run. This is handled as no proximity indication.
|
|
|
|
Chip state is controlled via runtime pm framework when enabled in config.
|
|
|
|
Calibscale factor is used to hide differences between the chips. By default
|
|
value set to neutral state meaning factor of 1.00. To get proper values,
|
|
calibrated source of light is needed as a reference. Calibscale factor is set
|
|
so that measurement produces about the expected lux value.
