    摘要: An ambient light detector, a detector array and a method are disclosed. An ambient light sensor includes a first plurality of sensor elements, where each sensor element is configured to provide a signal in response to a level of illumination and a second plurality of reference elements, each reference element configured to provide a reference signal and each including a blocking element configured to shield the respective reference element from being illuminated, where the first plurality is larger than the second plurality and the first plurality of sensor elements and the second plurality of reference elements are arranged in an array, and where a sensor element and a reference element are laterally arranged on or in a common layer substrate sharing at least one common first contact.

    摘要: A method and an optical sensor are described herein. The optical sensor may include a communication interface for receiving data from a control unit and for transmitting data to the control unit, a storage unit with at least one register for storing data, and a CRC generator for generating a CRC checksum. The optical sensor may be configured in such a way that when data stored in the storage unit is to be transmitted to the control unit, the communication interface receives from the control unit a device address specific to the optical sensor and an address of a register in which the data to be transmitted is stored. The CRC generator may be initialized using the device address received from the communication interface and/or the register address received from the communication interface, before the CRC generator generates a CRC checksum for the data to be transmitted.
