DATASHEET
ISL29035
Integrated Digital Light Sensor with Interrupt
The
ISL29035
is an integrated ambient and infrared
light-to-digital converter with I
2
C (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 I
2
C
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 I
2
C interface.
The ISL29035 supports a software and hardware interrupt that
remains asserted until the host clears it through the I
2
C
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 I
2
C
supply from 1.7V to 3.63V, the ISL29035 is specified for
operation across the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature
range.

5. 550nm green LED is used in production test. The 550nm LED irradiance is calibrated to produce the same DATA count against an illuminance level
of 300 Lux Cold White LED.
6. 850nm IR LED is used in production test. The 850nm LED irradiance is calibrated to produce the same DATA_IR count against and illuminance level
