The ISL29033 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 16-bit
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.
Power consumption can be reduced to less than 0.3µA when
powered down.
The ISL29033 supports a software and hardware interrupt that
remains asserted until the host clears it through the I2C
interface. The 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 ISL29033 is specified for
operation over the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature
range.
