Digital Ambient Light Sensor and Proximity Sensor with Interrupt Function ISL29018 Features The ISL29018 is an integrated ambient and infrared light to digital converter with a built-in IR LED driver and I2C Interface (SMBus Compatible). This device provides not only ambient light sensing to allow robust backlight/display brightness control but also infrared sensing to allow proximity estimation featured with interrupt function. Proximity Sensing For ambient light sensing, an internal ADC has been designed based on the charge-balancing A/D conversion technique. The ADC conversion time is nominally 90ms and is user adjustable from 11µs to 90ms, depending on oscillator frequency and ADC resolution. This ADC is capable of rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker noise caused by artificial light sources. The lux-range-select feature allows users to program the lux range for optimized counts/lux. • Programmable LED current Modulation Frequency For proximity sensing, the ADC is used to digitize the output signal from the photodiode array when the internal IR LED driver is turned on and off for the programmed time periods under userselected modulation frequency to drive the external IR LED. As this proximity sensor employs a noise cancellation scheme to highly reject unwanted IR noise, the digital output of proximity sensing decreases with distance. The driver output current is user selectable up to 100mA to drive different types of IR emitters LEDs. Six different modes of operation can be selected via the I2C interface: Programmable ALS once with auto power-down, programmable IR sensing once, programmable proximity sensing once, programmable continuous ALS sensing, programmable continuous IR sensing and programmable continuous proximity sensing. The programmable one-time operation modes greatly reduce power because an immediate automatic shutdown reduces overall supply current less than 0.5µA. The ISL29018 supports both hardware and software interrupts that remain asserted until the host clears it through I2C interface for ambient light sensing and proximity detection. Designed to operate on supplies from 2.25V to 3.63V, the ISL29018 is specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. It is packaged in a clear, Pb-free 8 Ld ODFN package.

I2C TIMING DIAGRAM Principles of Operation Photodiodes and ADC The ISL29018 contains two photodiode arrays which convert light into current. The spectral response for ambient light sensing and IR sensing is shown in Figure 8 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-toDigital 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 12. The built-in ADC offers user flexibility in integration time or conversion time. Integration time is determined by an internal oscillator (fOSC), 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 1) in the ambient light sensing. For very bright conditions, the ADC can be configured at its highest range (Range 4) in the proximity sensing. Low-Power Operation The ISL29018 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 ISL29018 receives an I2C command to do a one-time measurement from an I2C master, it will start ADC conversion with light or proximity sensing. It will go to the power- 7 down mode automatically after one conversion is finished and keep the conversion data available for the master to fetch anytime afterwards. The ISL29018 will continuously do ADC conversion with light or proximity 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 powerdown mode after it receives the I2C command of power-down. Ambient Light, IR and Proximity Sensing There are six operational modes in ISL29018: Programmable ALS once with auto power-down, programmable IR sensing once with auto power-down, programmable proximity sensing once with auto power-down; programmable continuous ALS sensing, programmable continuous IR sensing and programmable continuous proximity sensing. These six modes can be programmed in series to fulfill the application needs. The detailed program configuration is listed in “Register Set” 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 8 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 or Proximity Sensing” spectral response curve on Figure 8 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 proximity sensing, the external IR LED is turned on by the built-in IR LED driver through the IRDR pin. The amplitude of the IR LED current and the IR LED modulation frequency can be programmed through Command Register II. When the IR from the LED reaches an object and gets reflected back, the reflected IR light with wavelength within the “IR or Proximity Sensing” spectral response curve in Figure 8 is FN6619.4 October 8, 2012 ISL29018 converted into current. With ADC, the current is converted to an unsigned n-bit (up to 16 bits) digital output. The output reading is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the sensor and the object. Interrupt Function The active low interrupt pin is an open drain pull-down configuration. There is also an interrupt bit in the I2C register. The interrupt serves as an alarm or monitoring function to determine whether the ambient light level or the proximity detection level exceeds the upper threshold or goes below the lower threshold. The user can also configure the persistency of the interrupt. 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. Changing States - Avoiding Unintentional Interrupts A common application for the ISL29018 is alternating between ambient light and proximity measurements. The two states have different command words and threshold settings. To avoid an unintentional interrupt the device should be powered down before the state change. The conversion should not be enabled until the new command word & thresholds have been set. A safe sequence is to set the operation mode to power-down, set the command word and thresholds to the new state, then set the operation mode to desired setting. Example: State 0: Ambient light Operation Mode = ALS continuous Interrupt Persist = 1 Resolution = 16 bits Range = 1000 Lux Scheme, Frequency & IRDR = X (DONT CARE) Threshold High = 100 Lux Threshold Low = 10 Lux Command1 = 101x xx00 Command2 = xxxx 0000 Hi Threshold = 655 Lo Threshold = 66 State 1: Proximity - interrupt when NEAR Operation Mode = Proximity continuous Interrupt Persist = 4 Resolution = 12 bits Range = 1 Scheme = 1 Frequency = 0 IRDR = 100ma Threshold High = NEAR Threshold Low = OFF Command1 = 111x xx01 Command2 = 1011 0100 Hi Threshold = 1535 (75% of 2047) Lo Threshold = -2048 (OFF) Off: Write Byte Command1 = 0 State 1 setup: Write Word (Command 1&2) = B401h Write Word (Hi Threshold) = 05FFh Write Word (Lo Threshold) = F800h On: Write Byte Command1 = E1h Sequence State 1 -> State 0 Off: Write Byte Command1 = 0 State 0 setup: Write Word (Command 1&2) = B000h Write Word (Hi Threshold) = 028Fh Write Word (Lo Threshold) = 0042h On: Write Byte Command1 = A0h Sequence State 0 -> State 1 FIGURE 2. CHANGING STATES FLOW EXAMPLE 8 FN6619.4 October 8, 2012 ISL29018 I2C Interface Figure 3 shows a sample one-byte read. Figure 4 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 4 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). There are eight 8-bit registers available inside the ISL29018. 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 and the Timer output. The data registers contain the ADC's latest digital output. The four 8-bit interrupt registers hold 16-bit interrupt high and low thresholds. The ISL29018’s I2C interface slave address is internally hard-wired as 1000100. When 1000100x with x as R or W is sent after the Start condition, this device compares the first seven bits of this byte to its address and matches.

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. TABLE 10. DATA REGISTERS ADDRESS (hex) Here, Range(k) is defined in Table 9. Countmax is the maximum output counts from the ADC. The transfer function used for n-bit ADC becomes Equation 3: Range ( k ) E cal = --------------------------- × DATA n 2 (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). Integration and Conversion Time The ADC resolution and fOSC determines the integration time, tint as shown in Equation 4.

By default, the Interrupt threshold LO is 00 hex for both LSB and MSB. Registers 06 and 07 hex set the high (HI) threshold for the interrupt pin and the interrupt flag. 06 hex is the LSB and 07 hex is the MSB. By default, the Interrupt threshold HI is FF hex for both LSB and MSB. Test Register (08 hex) Register 8 is a reserved register that holds 00h during normal operation. Calculating Lux The ISL29018’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 on the light sources (fluorescent, incandescent and sunlight) because of 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 as shown in Equation 2. Range ( k ) α = ---------------------------Count max (EQ. 2) 12 External Scaling Resistor REXT for fOSC and Range The ISL29018 uses an external resistor REXT to fix its internal oscillator frequency, fOSC and the light sensing range, Range. fOSC and Range are inversely proportional to REXT. For user simplicity, the proportionality constant is referenced to 499kΩ as shown in Equations 5 and 6: 499kΩ Range = ------------------ × Range ( k ) R EXT (EQ. 5) 499kΩ f OSC = ------------------ × 725 kHz R EXT (EQ. 6) 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. ADC Output in IR Sensing The ISL29018’s ADC output codes, DATA, are directly proportional to the IR intensity received in the IR sensing. DATA IR = β × E IR (EQ. 7) Here, EIR is the received IR intensity. The constant β changes with the spectrum of background IR noise like sunlight and FN6619.4 October 8, 2012 ISL29018 incandescent light. The β also changes with the ADC’s range and resolution selections. ADC Output in Proximity Sensing In the proximity sensing, the ADC output codes, DATA, are directly proportional to the total IR intensity from the background IR noise and from the IR LED driven by the ISL29018. DATA PROX = β × E IR + γ × E LED (EQ. 8) Here, β and EIR have the same meanings as in Equation 7. The constant γ depends on the spectrum of the used IR LED and the ADC’s range and resolution selections. ELED is the IR intensity which is emitted from the IR LED and reflected by a specific objector to the ISL29018. ELED depends on the current to the IR LED and the surface of the object. ELED decreases with the square of the distance between the object and the sensor. If background IR noise is small, EIR can be neglected, and the ADC output directly decreases with the distance. If there is significant background IR noise, ISL29018 offers two schemes to reduce the effect. The first way is do a proximity sensing using Scheme 0, immediately followed by an IR sensing. The differential reading of ADC outputs from the proximity and IR sensing will then reduce the effect of background IR noise and directly decrease with the distance between the object and the sensor. The second way is to do a proximity sensing using Scheme 1 to do on-chip background IR noise subtraction. While Scheme 0 has wider dynamic range, Scheme 1 proximity detection is faster but with half the resolution. Please refer to “Typical Performance Curves” on page 15 for ADC output versus distance using Scheme 0 detection. Figure 11 shows ISL29018 configured at 12-bit ADC resolution and sensitivity range select at 16000 (range 3) for the proximity reading. A 12.5mA external LED current at 360kHz modulation frequency detects three different sensing objects: 92% brightness paper, 18% gray card and ESD black foam. Figure 12 shows ISL29018 configured at 12-bit ADC resolution and sensitivity range select at 1000 (range 1) for the proximity reading, with a programmed external LED at 360kHz modulation frequency, detecting the same sensing object: 18% gray card under four different external LED current: 12.5mA, 25mA, 50mA and 100mA to compare the proximity readout versus distance. ISL29018 Proximity sensing relies on the amount of IR reflected back from the objects to be detected. Clearly, it can not detect an optically black object that reflects no light. However, ISL29018 is sensitive enough to detect a black ESD foam, which reflects slightly less than 1% of IR, as shown in Figure 11 on page 15. For biological objects, blonde hair reflects more than brunette hair, as expected and shown in Figure 13. Also notice that skin tissue is much more reflective than hair. IR penetrates into the skin and is reflected or scattered back from within. As a result, the proximity count peaks at contact and monotonically decreases as skin moves away. This characteristic is very different from that of a plain paper reflector. ambient (ALS/IR) or proximity interrupt flag if the actual count stored in Register 0x2 and 0x3 are outside the user's programmed window. The user must read Register 0x0 to clear interrupt. Interrupt persistency at bit1 and bit0 of COMMAND1 is another useful option available for both ambient/IR and proximity measurement. Persistency requires x-in-a-row interrupt flags before the INT pin is driven low. Then, user must read Register 0x0 to clear Interrupt. VDD Power-up and Power Supply Considerations Upon power-up, please ensure a VDD slew rate of 0.5V/ms or greater. After power-up, or if the user’s power supply temporarily deviates from our specification (2.25V to 3.63V), Intersil recommends the user write 0x00 to two registers: 0x08, 0x00 (in that order), wait ~1ms or more and then rewrite all registers as desired. LED Modulation for Proximity Detection ISL29018 offers two ways to modulate the LED in the Proximity Detection mode - DC or 360kHz (with 50% duty cycle) by bit 6 of register 01h. At the IRDR pin, there are four different IRDR LED currents; 12.5, 25, 50, and 100mA outputs selectable by bits 4 and 5 of register 01h. With the LED running in the DC mode, the proximity detection is twice as sensitive but consumes 2 times more current. The sensitivity of LED 50mA, DC 50mA is identical to that of 100mA, 360kHz modulation. Please note that the ISL29018 does not include a LED. Current Consumption Estimation The low power operation is achieved through sequential readout in the serial fashion, as shown in Figure 5, the device requires three different phases in serial during the entire detection cycle to do ambient light sensing, infrared sensing and proximity sensing. The external IR LED will only be turned on during the proximity sensing phase under user program controlled current at modulated frequency depends on user selections. Figure 5 also shows the current consumption during each ALS, IR sensing and Proximity sensing phase. For example, at 8-bit ADC resolution the integration time is 0.4ms. If user programed 50mA current to supply external IR LED at 360kHz modulated frequency, during the entire operation cycle that includes ALS, IR sensing and Proximity sensing three different serial phases, the detection occurs once every 30ms, the average current consumption including external IR LED drive current can be calculated from Equation 9: [ ( 0.07 mA + 0.07 mA + 1mA + (50mA∗ 50%))∗ 0.4ms ) ]/30ms = 0.35mA (EQ. 9) If at a 12-bit ADC resolution where the integration time for each serial phase becomes 7ms and the total detection time becomes 100ms, the average current can be calculated from Equation 10: [ ( 0.07 mA + 0.07 mA + 1mA + (50mA∗ 50%))∗ 7 ms ) ]/100ms = 1.83mA (EQ. 10) Interrupt Function An interrupt event (FLAG) is governed by bit2 in COMMANDI. The user must set bit2 in COMMANDI to be logic low(0), which means INT is cleared or not triggered yet. Then ISL29018 will issue an 13 FN6619.4 October 8, 2012 ISL29018 Suggested PCB Footprint It is important that the users check the “Surface Mount Assembly Guidelines for Optical Dual FlatPack No Lead (ODFN) Package” before starting ODFN product board mounting. http://www.intersil.com/data/tb/TB477.pdf Layout Considerations The ISL29018 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 and place them close to the VDDA and VDDD pins of the device. Typical Circuit A typical application for the ISL29018 is shown in Figure 6. The ISL29018’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 Convection heating is recommended for reflow soldering; directinfrared 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. 30ms 1µA ALS 70µA 0.4ms IR 70µA 0.4ms PROXIMITY 0.4ms 1mA IR LED 50mA 360 kHz FIGURE 5.
