DATASHEET

Proximity Sensor with Intelligent Interrupt and Sleep Modes
ISL29027
Features
The ISL29027 is an integrated infrared light-to-digital converter
with a built-in IR LED driver and I2C Interface (SMBus Compatible).
The flexible interrupt scheme is designed for minimal
microcontroller utilization.
• Works Under All Light Sources Including Sunlight
For proximity sensor (Prox) data conversions, the built-in driver turns
on an external infrared LED and the proximity sensor ADC converts
the reflected IR intensity to digital. This ADC rejects ambient IR noise
(such as sunlight) and has a 540μs conversion time.
• Proximity Sensor with Broad IR Spectrum
- Can Use 850nm and 950nm External IR LEDs
• IR LED Driver with I2C Programmable Sink Currents
- Net 100μs Pulse with 110mA or 220mA Amplitudes
- Periodic Sleep Time up to 800ms Between Pulses
• Ambient IR Noise Cancellation (Including Sunlight)
Intelligent and Flexible Interrupts
• Intelligent Interrupt Scheme Simplifies μC Code
Proximity Sensing
The ISL29027 provides proximity sensing with a typical 138μA
normal operation current (110μA for sensors and internal circuitry,
~28μA for external LED) with 220mA current pulses for a net 100μs,
repeating every 800ms (or under).
• Proximity Interrupt Thresholds
• Adjustable Interrupt Persistency
- 1/4/8/16 Consecutive Triggers Required Before Interrupt
Ultra Low Power
The ISL29027 uses both a hardware pin and software bits to
indicate an interrupt event has occurred. A proximity interrupt is
defined as a measurement over a threshold limit. The user may
also require that proximity interrupts occur at once, up to 16
times in a row before activating the interrupt pin.
• 138μA DC Typical Supply Current for Prox Sensing
- 110μA for Sensors and Internal Circuitry
- 28μA Typical Current for External IR LED (Assuming 220mA
for 100μs Every 800ms)
• <1.0μA Supply Current When Powered Down
Easy to Use
The ISL29027 is designed to operate from 2.25V to 3.63V over the
-40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. It is packaged in a
clear, lead-free 8 lead ODFN package.

FIGURE 3. I2C DRIVER TIMING DIAGRAM FOR MASTER AND SLAVE CONNECTED TO COMMON BUS
Principles of Operation
I2C Interface
The ISL29027’s I2C interface slave address is internally hardwired
as 0b100010<x>, where “0b” signifies binary notation and x
represents the logic level on pin ADDR0.
Figure 3 shows a sample one-byte read. The I2C bus master
always drives the SCL (clock) line, while either the master or the
slave can drive the SDA (data) line. Every I2C transaction begins
with the master asserting a start condition (SDA falling while SCL
remains high). The first transmitted byte is initiated by the
master and includes 7 address bits and a R/W bit. The slave is
responsible for pulling SDA low during the ACK bit after every
transmitted byte.
Each I2C transaction ends with the master asserting a stop
condition (SDA rising while SCL remains high).
subtracts the IR reading before and after the LED is driven (to
remove ambient IR such as sunlight), and converts this value to a
digital count stored in Register 0x8. Because of the conversion
times, the user must let the ADCs perform one full conversion
first before reading from I2C Registers PROX_DATA (wait
0.54ms). The proximity sensor runs continuously with a time
between conversions decided by PROX_SLP (Register 1 Bits
[6:4]).(as shown in Figure 4).

Photodiodes and ADCs
The ISL29027 contains photodiode arrays which convert photons
(light) into current. The proximity sensor is an 8-bit ADC. When
proximity sensing is enabled, the IRDR pin will drive a usersupplied infrared LED, the emitted IR reflects off an object (i.e., a
human head) back into the ISL29027, and a sensor converts the
reflected IR wave to a current signal in 0.54ms. The ADC

Proximity Sensing
When proximity sensing is enabled (PROX_EN = 1), the external
IR LED is driven for 0.1ms by the built-in IR LED driver through
the IRDR pin. The amplitude of the IR LED current depends on
Register 1 bit 3: PROX_DR. If this bit is low, the load will see a

will see a fixed 220mA current pulse as seen in Figure 5.

FIGURE 5. CURRENT DRIVE MODE OPTIONS
When the IR from the LED reaches an object and gets reflected
back into the ISL29027, the reflected IR light is converted into
current as per the IR spectral response shown in Figure 7. One
entire proximity measurement takes 0.54ms for one conversion
(which includes 0.1ms spent driving the LED), and the period
between proximity measurements is decided by PROX_SLP
(sleep time) in (Register 1 Bits 6:4).
Average LED driving current consumption is given by Equation 1.

(EQ. 1)
Interrupt persistency is another useful option available for
proximity measurements. Persistency requires X-in-a-row
interrupt flags before the INT pin is driven low. Prox have their
own independent interrupt persistency options. See PROX_PRST
bits in Register 2.
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 the following: write 0x00 to register
0x01, write 0x29 to register 0x0F, write 0x00 to register 0x0E,
and write 0x00 to register 0x0F. The user should then wait ~1ms
or more and then rewrite all registers to the desired values. If the
user prefers a hardware reset method instead of writing to test
registers: set VDD = 0V for 1 second or more, power back up at
the required slew rate, and write registers to the desired values.
Power-Down
To put the ISL29027 into a power-down state, the user can set
PROX_EN bits to 0 in Register 1. Or more simply, set all of
Register 1 to 0x00.
Noise Rejection
Total current consumption is the sum of IDD and IIRDR. The IRDR
pin sinks current (as shown in Figure 5) and the average IRDR
current can be calculated using Equation 1. IDD depends on
voltage and the mode-of-operation, as seen in Figure 9.
Charge balancing 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. Since wall sockets
may output at 60Hz or 50Hz, our integration time is 0.54ms: the
lowest common integer number of cycles for both frequencies.
Interrupt Function
Proximity Detection of Various Objects
The ISL29027 has an intelligent interrupt scheme designed to
shift some logic processing away from intensive microcontroller
I2C polling routines (which consume power) and towards a more
independent light sensor, which can instruct a system to “wake
up” or “go to sleep”.
Proximity sensing relies on the amount of IR reflected back from
objects. A perfectly black object would absorb all light and reflect
no photons. The ISL29027 is sensitive enough to detect black ESD
foam which reflects only 1% of IR. For biological objects, blonde
hair reflects more than brown hair and customers may 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. The reflective characteristics of skin are very
different from that of paper.
A typical IRDR scheme is 220mA amplitude pulses every 800ms,
which yields 28μA DC.
Total Current Consumption
A proximity interrupt event (PROX_FLAG) is governed by the high
and low thresholds in registers 3 and 4 (PROX_LT and PROX_HT).
PROX_FLAG is set when the measured proximity data is more
than the higher threshold X-times-in-a-row (X is set by user; see
next paragraph). The proximity interrupt flag is cleared when the
prox data is lower than the low proximity threshold
X-times-in-a-row, or when the user writes “0” to PROX_FLAG.

Typical Circuit
Suggested PCB Footprint
A typical application for the ISL29027 is shown in Figure 6. The
ISL29027’s I2C address is internally hardwired as 0b100010<x>,
with x representing the logic state of input I2C address pin
ADDR0. The device can be tied onto a system’s I2C bus together
with other I2C compliant devices.
It is important that users check the “Surface Mount Assembly
Guidelines for Optical Dual FlatPack No Lead (ODFN) Package”
before starting ODFN product board mounting.
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.

Layout Considerations
The ISL29027 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. 0.1µF and 1µF power supply decoupling
capacitors need to be placed close to the device.
