Integrated Digital Ambient Light Sensor
with Interrupt Function
The ISL29023 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 90ms and is user
adjustable from 11µs to 90ms, depending on oscillator
frequency and ADC resolution. In normal operation, typical
current consumption is 70µA. 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 ISL29023 supports a software and hardware interrupt
that remains asserted until the host clears it through 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 ISL29023 is specified for
operation over the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.

ISL29023
Principles of Operation
Photodiodes and ADC
The ISL29023 contains two photodiode arrays which convert
light into current. The spectral response for ambient light
sensing and IR sensing is shown in Figure 5 in the performance
curves section. After light is converted to current during the light
signal process, the current output is converted to digital by a
built-in 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). An I2C
command reads the ambient light or IR intensity in counts.
The converter is a charge-balancing integrating type 16-bit
ADC. The chosen method for conversion is best for converting
small current signals in the presence of an AC periodic noise. A
100ms integration time, for instance, highly rejects 50Hz and
60Hz power line noise simultaneously. See “Integration and
Conversion Time” on page 7.
The built-in ADC offers user flexibility in integration time or
conversion time. There are two timing modes: Internal Timing
Mode and External Timing Mode. In Internal Timing Mode,
integration time is determined by an internal oscillator (fOSC),
and the n-bit (n = 4, 8, 12, 16) counter inside the ADC. In
External Timing Mode, integration time is determined by the
time between two consecutive I2C External Timing Mode
commands. A good balancing act of integration time and
resolution (depending on the application) is required for optimal
results.
The ADC has I2C programmable range select to dynamically
accommodate various lighting conditions. For very dim
conditions, the ADC can be configured at its lowest range
(Range 1) in the ambient light sensing.
Low-Power Operation
The ISL29023 initial operation is at the power-down mode
after a supply voltage is provided. The data registers contain
the default value of 0. When the ISL29023 receives an I2C
command to do a one-time measurement from an I2C
master, it will start ADC conversion with light sensing. It will
go to the power-down mode automatically after one
conversion is finished and keep the conversion data
available for the master to fetch anytime afterwards. The
ISL29023 will continuously do ADC conversion with light
sensing if it receives an I2C command of continuous
measurement. It will continuously update the data registers
with the latest conversion data. It will go to the power-down
mode after it receives the I2C command of power-down.
Ambient Light and IR Sensing
There are four operational modes in ISL29023: Programmable
ALS once with auto power-down, programmable IR sensing
once with auto power-down, programmable continuous ALS
sensing and programmable continuous IR sensing. These four
modes can be programmed in series to fulfill the application
needs. The detailed program configuration is listed in
“Command Register I 00(hex)” on page 5.
4
When the part is programmed for ambient light sensing, the
ambient light with wavelength within the “Ambient Light
Sensing” spectral response curve in Figure 5 is converted
into current. With ADC, the current is converted to an
unsigned n-bit (up to 16 bits) digital output.
When the part is programmed for infrared (IR) sensing, the
IR light with wavelength within the “IR Sensing” spectral
response curve in Figure 5 is converted into current. With
ADC, the current is converted to an unsigned n-bit (up to
16-bits) digital output.
Interrupt Function
The active low interrupt pin is an open drain pull-down
configuration. The interrupt pin serves as an alarm or
monitoring function to determine whether the ambient light
level exceeds the upper threshold or goes below the lower
threshold. It should be noted that the function of ADC
conversion continues without stopping after interrupt is
asserted. If the user needs to read the ADC count that
triggers the interrupt, the reading should be done before the
data registers are refreshed by the following conversions.
The user can also configure the persistency of the interrupt
pin. This reduces the possibility of false triggers, such as
noise or sudden spikes in ambient light conditions. An
unexpected camera flash, for example, can be ignored by
setting the persistency to 8 integration cycles.
I2C Interface
There are eight 8-bit registers available inside the ISL29023.
The two command registers define the operation of the
device. The command registers do not change until the
registers are overwritten. The two 8-bit data Read Only
registers are for the ADC output. The data registers contain
the ADC's latest digital output, or the number of clock cycles
in the previous integration period.
The ISL29023’s I2C interface slave address is internally hardwired as 1000100. When 1000100x with x as R or W is sent
after the Start condition, this device compares the first 7 bits of
this byte to its address and matches.
Figure 1 shows a sample one-byte read. Figure 2 shows a
sample one-byte write. The I2C bus master always drives the
SCL (clock) line, while either the master or the slave can drive
the SDA (data) line. Figure 2 shows a sample write. Every I2C
transaction begins with the master asserting a start condition
(SDA falling while SCL remains high). The following byte is
driven by the master, and includes the slave address and
read/write bit. The receiving device is responsible for pulling
SDA low during the acknowledgement period. Every I2C
transaction ends with the master asserting a stop condition
(SDA rising while SCL remains high).
For more information about the I2C standard, please consult
the Philips™ I2C specification documents.

2. Interrupt flag; Bit 2. This is the status bit of the interrupt.
The bit is set to logic high when the interrupt thresholds
have been triggered (out of threshold window), and logic
low when not yet triggered. Once activated and the
interrupt is triggered, the INT pin goes low and the
interrupt status bit goes high until the status bit is polled
through the I2C read command. Both the INT output and
the interrupt status bit are automatically cleared at the
end of the 8-bit (00h) command register transfer.
Data Registers (02 hex and 03 hex)
The device has two 8-bit read-only registers to hold the data
from LSB to MSB for ADC. The most significant bit (MSB) is
accessed at 03 hex, and the least significant bit (LSB) is
accessed at 02 hex. For 16-bit resolution, the data is from
D0 to D15; for 12-bit resolution, the data is from D0 to D11;
for 8-bit resolution, the data is from D0 to D7. The registers
are refreshed after every conversion cycle.

CONTENTS

The ISL29023’s ADC output codes, DATA, are directly
proportional to lux in the ambient light sensing.
(EQ. 1)
E cal = α × DATA
Here, Ecal is the calculated lux reading. The constant α is
determined by the Full Scale Range and the ADC’s
maximum output counts. The constant is independent of the
light sources (fluorescent, incandescent and sunlight)
because the light sources’ IR component is removed during
the light signal process. The constant can also be viewed as
the sensitivity (the smallest lux measurement the device can
measure).
Range ( k )
α = ---------------------------Count max
(EQ. 2)
Here, Range(k) is defined in Table 6. Countmax is the
maximum output counts from the ADC.
The transfer function used for n-bits ADC becomes:

(EQ. 3)
Here, n = 4, 8, 12 or 16. This is the number of ADC bits
programmed in the command register. 2n represents the
maximum number of counts possible from the ADC output.
Data is the ADC output stored in the data registers (02 hex
and 03 hex).

Layout Considerations
The ISL29023 is relatively insensitive to layout. Like other
I2C devices, it is intended to provide excellent performance
even in significantly noisy environments. There are only a
few considerations that will ensure best performance.
Route the supply and I2C traces as far as possible from all
sources of noise. Use two power-supply decoupling
capacitors, 1µF and 0.1µF, placed close to the device.
Typical Circuit
A typical application for the ISL29023 is shown in Figure 3.
The ISL29023’s I2C address is internally hardwired as
1000100. The device can be tied onto a system’s I2C bus
together with other I2C compliant devices.
Soldering Considerations
Noise Rejection
In general, integrating type ADC’s have excellent
noise-rejection characteristics for periodic noise sources
whose frequency is an integer multiple of the conversion
rate. For instance, a 60Hz AC unwanted signal’s sum from
0ms to k*16.66ms (k = 1,2...ki) is zero. Similarly, setting the
device’s integration time to be an integer multiple of the
periodic noise signal, greatly improves the light sensor
output signal in the presence of noise.
Convection heating is recommended for reflow soldering;
direct-infrared heating is not recommended. The plastic
ODFN package does not require a custom reflow soldering
profile, and is qualified to +260°C. A standard reflow
soldering profile with a +260°C maximum is recommended.
ADC Output in IR Sensing
The ISL29023’s ADC output codes, DATA, are directly
proportional to the IR intensity received in the IR sensing.
DATA IR = β × E IR
