ISL29029IROZ-T7

Low Power Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor with Intelligent Interrupt and Sleep Modes ISL29029 The ISL29029 is an integrated ambient and infrared light-to-digital converter with a built-in IR LED driver and I2C Interface (SMBus Compatible). This device uses two independent ADCs for concurrently measuring ambient light and proximity in parallel. The flexible interrupt scheme is designed for minimal microcontroller utilization. For ambient light sensor (ALS) data conversions, an ADC converts photodiode current (with a light sensitivity range up to 2000 Lux) in 100ms per sample. The ADC rejects 50Hz/60Hz flicker noise caused by artificial light sources. For proximity sensor (PROX) data conversions, the built-in driver turns on an external infrared LED and the proximity sensor ADC converts the reflected IR intensity to digital. This ADC rejects ambient IR noise (such as sunlight) and has a 540μs conversion time. The ISL29029 provides low power operation of ALS and PROX sensing with a typical 138μA normal operation current (110μA for sensors and internal circuitry, ~28μA for external LED) with 220mA current pulses for a net 100μs, repeating every 800ms (or under). The ISL29029 uses both a hardware pin and software bits to indicate an interrupt event has occurred. An ALS or PROX interrupt is defined as a measurement which is outside a set window. The user may also require that both ALS/PROX interrupts occur at once, up to 16 times in a row before activating the interrupt pin. The ISL29029 is designed to operate from 2.25V to 3.63V over the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. It is packaged in a clear, lead-free 8 lead ODFN package.
