ISL29018
Digital Ambient Light Sensor and Proximity Sensor with Interrupt Function
FN6619 Rev 4.00 October 8, 2012
The ISL29018 is an integrated ambient and infrared light to digital converter with a built-in IR LED driver and I2C Interface (SMBus Compatible). This device provides not only ambient light sensing to allow robust backlight/display brightness control but also infrared sensing to allow proximity estimation featured with interrupt function.
For ambient light sensing, an internal ADC has been designed based on the charge-balancing A/D conversion technique. The ADC conversion time is nominally 90ms and is user adjustable from 11µs to 90ms, depending on oscillator frequency and ADC resolution.
