Features
The ISL29035 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 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 I2C
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 I2C interface.

• Industrial and medical light sensing
The ISL29035 supports a software and hardware interrupt that
remains asserted until the host clears it through the 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 ISL29035 is specified for
operation over the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.

Principles of Operation
Photodiodes and ADC
The ISL29035 contains two photodiode arrays, which convert
light into current. The spectral response for ambient light sensing
and IR sensing is shown in Figure 5 on page 6. 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 105ms
integration time, for instance, highly rejects 50Hz and 60Hz
power line noise simultaneously.
The integration time of the built-in ADC is determined by the
internal oscillator, and the n-bit (n = 4, 8, 12, 16) counter inside
the ADC. 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 0) in the ambient light sensing.
Low-Power Operation
The ISL29035 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 ISL29035 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 ISL29035 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 ISL29035: 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-I Register
(Address: 0x00)” on page 10.
When the part is programmed for ambient light sensing, the
ambient light with wavelength within the “Ambient Light
Sensing” spectral response curve in Figure 14 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 14 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.
Serial Interface
The ISL29035 supports the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus data
transmission protocol. The I2C bus is a two-wire serial
bidirectional interface consisting of SCL (clock) and SDA (data).
Both the wires are connected to the device supply via pull-up
resistors. The I2C protocol defines any device that sends data
onto the bus as a transmitter and the receiving device as the
receiver. The device controlling the transfer is a master and the
device being controlled is the slave. The transmitting device pulls
down the SDA line to transmit a “0” and releases it to transmit a
“1”. The master always initiates the data transfer, only when the
bus is not busy, and provides the clock for both transmit and
receive operations. The ISL29035 operates as a slave device in
all applications. The serial communication over the I2C interface
is conducted by sending the most significant bit (MSB) of each
byte of data first.
Start Condition
During data transfer, the SDA line must remain stable while the
SCL line is HIGH. All I2C interface operations must begin with a
START condition, which is a HIGH-to-LOW transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH (refer to Figure 11 on page 8). The ISL29035
continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the START
condition and does not respond to any command until this
condition is met (refer to Figure 11). A START condition is ignored
during the power-up sequence.
Stop Condition
All I2C interface operations must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW-to-HIGH transition of SDA while SCL is
HIGH (refer to Figure 11). A STOP condition at the end of a
read/write operation places the device in its standby mode. If a
stop is issued in the middle of a Data byte, or before 1 full Data
byte + ACK is sent, then the serial communication of the
ISL29035 resets itself without performing the read/write. The
contents of the array are not affected.
Acknowledge
An acknowledge (ACK) is a software convention used to indicate
a successful data transfer. The transmitting device releases the
SDA bus after transmitting 8-bits. During the ninth clock cycle,
the receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to acknowledge the reception
of the eight bits of data (refer to Figure 11). The ISL29035
responds with an ACK after recognition of a START condition
FN8371.1
November 12, 2014
ISL29035
followed by a valid Identification Byte, and once again, after
successful receipt of an Address Byte. The ISL29035 also
responds with an ACK after receiving a Data byte of a write
operation. The master must respond with an ACK after receiving
a Data byte of a read operation.
Device Addressing
Following a START condition, the master must output a Device
Address byte. The 7 MSBs of the Device Address byte are known
as the device identifier. The device identifier bits of the ISL29035
are internally hard-wired as “1000100”. The LSB of the Device
Address byte is defined as a read or write (R/W) bit. When this
R/W bit is a “1”, a read operation is selected and when “0”, a write
operation is selected (refer to Figure 9). The master generates a
START condition followed by Device Address byte 1000100x (x as
R/W) and the ISL29035 compares it with the internal device
identifier. Upon a correct comparison, the device outputs an
acknowledge (LOW) on the SDA line (refer to Figure 11).

Write Operation
BYTE WRITE
In a byte write operation, the ISL29035 requires the Device
Address byte, Register Address byte, and the Data byte. The
master starts the communication with a START condition. Upon
receipt of the Device Address byte, Register Address byte, and
the Data byte, the ISL29035 responds with an acknowledge
(ACK). Following the ISL29035 data acknowledge response, the
master terminates the transfer by generating a STOP condition.
The ISL29035 then begins an internal write cycle of the data to
the volatile memory. During the internal write cycle, the device
inputs are disabled and the SDA line is in a high impedance state,
so the device will not respond to any requests from the master
(refer to Figure 10).
BURST WRITE
The ISL29035 has a burst write operation, which allows the
master to write multiple consecutive bytes from a specific
address location. It is initiated in the same manner as the byte
write operation, but instead of terminating the write cycle after
the first Data byte is transferred, the master can write to the
whole register array. After the receipt of each byte, the ISL29035
responds with an acknowledge, and the address is internally
incremented by one. The address pointer remains at the last
address byte written. When the counter reaches the end of the
register address list, it “rolls over” and goes back to the first
Register Address.

Read Operation
The ISL29035 has two basic read operations: Byte Read and
Burst Read.
BYTE READ
Byte read operations allow the master to access any register
location in the ISL29035. The Byte read operation is a two step
process. The master issues the START condition and the Device
Address byte with the R/W bit set to “0”, receives an
acknowledge, then issues the Register Address byte. After
acknowledging receipt of the register address byte, the master
immediately issues another START condition and the Device
Address byte with the R/W bit set to “1”. This is followed by an
acknowledge from the device and then by the 8-bit data word.
The master terminates the read operation by not responding with
an acknowledge and then issuing a stop condition (refer to
Figure 12).
BURST READ
Burst read operation is identical to the Byte Read operation.
After the first Data byte is transmitted, the master now responds
with an acknowledge, indicating it requires additional data. The
device continues to output data for each acknowledge received.

against powering up in the incorrect state. The ISL29035 will
power-up into Standby mode after VDD exceeds the POR trigger
level and will power-down into Reset mode when VDD drops
below the POR trigger level. This bidirectional POR feature
protects the device against ‘brown-out’ failure following a
temporary loss of power.
The POR is an important feature because it prevents the
ISL29035 from starting to operate with insufficient voltage, prior
to stabilization of the internal bandgap. The ISL29035 prevents
communication to its registers and greatly reduces the likelihood
of data corruption on power-up.

Register Description
All the features of the device are controlled by the registers. The
ADC data can also be read. The following sections explain the
details of each register bit. All RESERVED bits are Intersil used
bits ONLY. The value of the reserved bit can change without
notice.
Decimal to Hexadecimal Conversion
To convert decimal value to hexadecimal value, divide the
decimal number by 16, and write the remainder on the side as
the least significant digit. This process is continued by dividing
the quotient by 16 and writing the remainder until the quotient
is 0. When performing the division, the remainders, which will
represent the hexadecimal equivalent of the decimal number,
are written beginning with the least significant digit (right) and
each new digit is written to the next more significant digit (the
left) of the previous digit. Consider the number 175 decimal.

The default register value is 0x00 at power-on.
Following are detailed descriptions of the control registers
related to the operation of the ISL29035 ambient light sensor
device. These registers are accessed by the I2C serial interface.
For details on the I2C interface, refer to “Serial Interface” on
page 7.

INTERRUPT PERSIST BITS (B0 - B1)
The interrupt persist bits provide control over when interrupts
occur. There are four different selections for this feature. A value
of n (where n is 1, 4, 8, and 16) results in an interrupt only if the
value remains outside the threshold window for n consecutive
integration cycles. For example, if n is equal to 16 and the ADC
resolution is set to 16-bits, then the integration time is 105ms.
An interrupt is generated whenever the last conversion results in
a value outside of the programmed threshold window. The
interrupt is active-low and remains asserted until cleared by
writing the COMMAND register with the CLEAR bit set. Table 4
lists the possible interrupt persist bits.

INTERRUPT STATUS BIT (B2)
The interrupt status bit (INT) is a status bit for light intensity
detection. The bit is set to logic HIGH when the light intensity
crosses the interrupt thresholds window (register address
0x04 - 0x07), and set to logic LOW when it is within the interrupt
thresholds window. Once 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 pin and
the interrupt status bit are automatically cleared at the end of
the 8-bit Device Register byte (0x00) transfer. Table 5 shows the
interrupt status states.

RESERVED BITS (B0 - B2 AND B6)
All RESERVED bits on the ISL29035 are Intersil used bits only.
Bit0 - Bit2 and Bit6 are RESERVED bits where their value might
change without any notification to the user. It is advised when
using the identification bits to identify the device in a system the
software should mask the Bit0 - Bit2 and Bit6 – Bit7 to properly
identify the device.
Here, Ecal is the calculated Lux reading. The constant  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).

identification bits are read only bits. It is important to notice that
Bit7 is a status bit for brownout condition (BOUT).
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

Bit7 on register address 0x0F is a status bit for brownout

Route the supply and I2C traces as far as possible from all

1µF and 0.1µF, placed close to the device.

Soldering Considerations
(EQ. 5)
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.
Then EV accuracy can be found in Equation 5:
EV Accuracy = KxDATA EV +   DATA IR
significantly noisy environments. There are only a few
considerations that will ensure best performance.
Here, DATAEV is the received ambient light intensity ADC output
codes. K is a resolution of visible portion. Its unit is Lux/count.
The typical values of K is 0.82. DATAIR is the received IR intensity.
The constant  changes with the spectrum of background IR,
such as A, F2 and D65 (Notes 8, 9 and 10). The  also changes
with the ADC’s range and resolution selections. A typical for
range1 and range2 is -11292.86 and range3 and range4 is
2137.14 without IR tinted glass.
Noise Rejection
Electrical AC power worldwide is distributed at either 50Hz or
60Hz. Artificial light sources vary in intensity at the AC power
frequencies. The undesired interference frequencies are infused
on the electrical signals. This variation is one of the main sources
of noise for the light sensors. Integrating type ADC’s have
excellent noise-rejection characteristics for periodic noise
sources whose frequency is an integer multiple of the conversion
rate. By setting the sensor’s integration time to an integer
multiple of periodic noise signal, the performance of an ambient
light sensor can be improved greatly in the presence of noise. In
order to reject the AC noise, the integration time of the sensor
must to adjusted to match the AC noise cycle. 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.
Suggested PCB Footprint
It is important that users check the “Surface Mount Assembly
Guidelines for Optical Dual Flat Pack No Lead (ODFN) Package”
before starting ODFN product board mounting: TB477
Temperature Coefficient
The limits stated for temperature coefficient (TC) are governed by
the method of measurement. The “Box” method is usually used
for specifying the temperature coefficient. The overwhelming
standard for specifying the temperature drift of a reference is to
evaluate the maximum voltage change over the specified
temperature range. This yields ppm/°C, and is calculated using
Equation 6:
V HIGH – V LOW
6
TC = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  10
V NOMINAL   T HIGH – T LOW 
(EQ. 6)
where:
VHIGH is the maximum reference voltage over the temperature
range.
VLOW is the minimum reference voltage over the temperature
range.
VNOMINAL is the nominal reference voltage at +25°C.
THIGH - TLOW is the specified temperature range (°C)
Digital Inputs and Termination
The ISL29035 digital inputs are guaranteed to CMOS levels. The
internal register is updated on the rising edge of the clock. To
minimize reflections, proper termination should be
implemented. If the lines driving the clock and the digital inputs
are 50Ω lines, then 50Ω termination resistors should be placed
as close to the sensor inputs as possible, connected to the digital
ground plane (if separate grounds are used).
Board Mounting Considerations
Typical Circuit
For applications requiring the light measurement, the board
mounting location should be reviewed. The device uses an
Optical Dual Flat Pack No Lead (ODFN) package, which subjects
the die to mild stresses when the printed circuit (PC) board is
heated and cooled, which slightly changes the shape. Because of
these die stresses, placing the device in areas subject to slight
twisting can cause degradation of reference voltage accuracy. It
is normally best to place the device near the edge of a board, or
on the shortest side, because the axis of bending is most limited
in that location.
A typical application for the ISL29035 is shown in Figure 15. The
ISL29035’s I2C address is internally hard-wired as 1000100. The
device can be tied onto a system’s I2C bus, together with other
I2C compliant devices.
Layout Considerations
The ISL29035 is relatively insensitive to layout. Like other I2C
devices, it is intended to provide excellent performance even in
