The ISL29035 is an integrated ambient and infrared
light-to-digital converter with I2C (SMBus Compatible) Interface.
Its advanced self-calibrated photodiode array emulates human
eye response with excellent IR rejection. The on-chip ADC is
capable of rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by artificial
light sources. The Lux range select feature allows users to
program the Lux range for optimized counts/Lux.
For ambient light sensing, an internal 16-bit ADC has been
designed based upon the charge-balancing technique. The
ADC conversion time is nominally 105ms and is user
adjustable from 11µs to 105ms, depending on oscillator
frequency and ADC resolution. In normal operation, typical
current consumption is 57µA. In order to further minimize
power consumption, two power-down modes have been
provided. If polling is chosen over continuous measurement of
light, the auto-power-down function shuts down the whole chip
after each ADC conversion for the measurement. The other
power-down mode is controlled by software via the I2C
interface. The power consumption can be reduced to less than
0.3µA when powered down.
The ISL29035 supports a software brownout condition
detection. The device powers up with the brownout bit asserted
until the host clears it through the I2C interface.
The ISL29035 supports a software and hardware interrupt that
remains asserted until the host clears it through the I2C
interface. Function of ADC conversion continues without
stopping after interrupt is asserted.
Designed to operate on supplies from 2.25V to 3.63V with an I2C
supply from 1.7V to 3.63V, the ISL29035 is specified for
operation over the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.
