Intersil Introduces Ultra-Low Lux Digital Ambient Light Sensor
June 26 2012 - 11:00AM
Marketwired
Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL) today announced the release of
an ultra-low lux ambient light sensor, the ISL29033. With linear
sensitivity down to 0.0019 lux, the ISL29033 is ideal for very low
light applications such as light sensing behind dark glass and
industrial design-challenging applications where typical light
sensors have insufficient sensitivity (i.e. indirect light
applications).
The ISL29033 includes a lux range select feature that allows
users to program the lux range for optimized sensitivity. Power
consumption is extremely low -- the typical current consumption is
55uA in operation and 0.01uA in shutdown. The ISL29033 provides a
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.
Features and Specifications
- Closely matches human eye spectral response with excellent IR
and UV rejection
- Simple linear output code directly proportional to lux
- Variable conversion resolution up to 16 bits
- Adjustable sensitivity up to 520 counts per lux
- Measurement range: 0.0019 to 8,000 lux with four selectable
ranges
- Programmable interrupt function
- 55uA typical operating current, with 0.01uA typical current in
shutdown
- 6-Lead 2.0mm x 2.1mm x 0.7mm ODFN package
Applications
- Display and keypad dimming adjustment for:
- Mobile devices: smartphones, personal navigation devices
- Computing devices: notebooks, tablets
- Consumer devices: LCD TVs, digital picture frames, digital
cameras
- Industrial and medical light sensing
Pricing and Availability The ISL29033 is
currently available in a 6-lead 2.0 x 2.1mm ODFN package, with
prices starting at $1.31 each in 1,000-unit quantities. For more
