ISL29018 ¬ Data Sheet February 11, 2010 Digital Ambient Light Sensor and Proximity Sensor with Interrupt Function 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. 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. 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 user-selected 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. 1 FN6619.1 Features Proximity Sensing • Ambient IR Cancellation During Proximity Sensing - Works Under Direct Sunlight • IR LED Driver with Programmable Source Current - Adjustable Current Drive from 100mA to 12.5mA • Programmable LED current Modulation Frequency • Variable Conversion Resolution Ambient Light Sensing • Simple Output Code Directly Proportional to lux • Adjustable Sensitivity up to 65 Counts per lux • Selectable Range (via I2C) - Range 1 = 0.015 lux to 1,000 lux - Range 2 = 0.06 lux to 4,000 lux - Range 3 = 0.24 lux to 16,000 lux - Range 4 = 0.96 lux to 64,000 lux • Integrated 50/60Hz Noise Rejection • Works Under Various Light Sources, Including Sunlight Ideal Spectral Response for Light and Proximity Sensor • Light Sensor Close to Human Eye Response - Excellent Light Sensor IR and UV Rejection • Proximity sensor range from 850nm to 950nm - Can use either 850nm or 950nm LED solution Ultra Low Power • 90μA Max Operating Current • Software Shutdown and Automatic Shutdown - 0.5μA Max Shutdown Current Easy to Use • I2C (SMBus Compatible) Output • No Complex Algorithms Needed • Temperature Compensated • Small Form Factor - 8 Ld 3.0mmx3.0mmx0.7mm ODFN Package Additional Features • • • • I2C and SMBus Compatible 1.7V to 3.63V Supply for I2C Interface 2.25V to 3.63V Sensor Power Supply Pb-Free (RoHS compliant) Applications • Display and Keypad Dimming Adjustment and Proximity Sensing for: - Mobile Devices: Smart Phone, PDA, GPS - Computing Devices: Notebook PC, Webpad - Consumer Devices: LCD-TV, Digital Picture Frame, Digital Camera • Industrial and Medical Light and Proximity Sensing CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures. 1-888-INTERSIL or 1-888-468-3774 | Intersil (and design) is a registered trademark of Intersil Americas Inc.

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 6 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 9. 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 5 (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-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 power-down 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 FN6619.1 February 11, 2010 ISL29018 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. needs. The detailed program configuration is listed in “Register Set” on page 7. When the part is programmed for ambient light sensing, the ambient light with wavelength within the “Ambient Light Sensing” spectral response curve in Figure 6 is converted into current. With ADC, the current is converted to an unsigned n-bit (up to 16 bits) digital output. I2C Interface 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, or the number of clock cycles in the previous integration period. The four 8-bit interrupt registers hold 16-bit interrupt high and low thresholds. 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 6 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 6 is 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. 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. 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). 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 I2C DATA I2C SDA IN I2C SDA OUT I2C CLK DEVICE ADDRESS START For more information about the I2C standard, please consult the Philips™ I2C specification documents.

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 FN6619.1 February 11, 2010 ISL29018 viewed as the sensitivity: the smallest lux measurement the device can measure as shown in Equation 2.

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.

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. 9 (EQ. 7) Here, EIR is the received IR intensity. The constant β changes with the spectrum of background IR noise like sunlight and incandescent light. The β also changes with the ADC’s range and resolution selections. The transfer function used for n-bit ADC becomes Equation 3: REXT (kΩ) ADC Output in IR Sensing 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 12 for ADC output versus distance using Scheme 0 detection. Figure 9 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 10 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 FN6619.1 February 11, 2010 ISL29018 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 9. For biological objects, blonde hair reflects more than brunette hair, as expected and shown in Figure 11. 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. the detection occurs once every 30ms, the average current consumption including external IR LED drive current can be calculated from Equation 9: [ ( 0.05mA + 0.05mA + 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: [ ( 0.05mA + 0.05mA + 1mA + (50mA∗ 50%))∗ 7 ms ) ]/100ms = 1.83mA (EQ. 10) Interrupt Function Depending on the mode of operation set by Bits 7, 6 and 5 of command register 00 hex, the upper and lower interrupt thresholds are for either ambient light level or proximity detection. After each change of mode of operation, it is expected a new set of thresholds are loaded to interrupt registers 04, 05, 06 and 07 hex for proper interrupt detection. Also, the interrupt persist counter will be reset to 0 when the mode of operation is changed. 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 to the desired values. 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 capacitor 0.1µF, placed close to the device. 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 3, 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 3 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, 10 Typical Circuit A typical application for the ISL29018 is shown in Figure 4. 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; 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.
