Low Power Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor with
Intelligent Interrupt and Sleep Modes - Analog and Digital
Out
ISL29030
Features
The ISL29030 is an integrated ambient and infrared
light-to-digital converter with a built-in IR LED driver and I2C
Interface (SMBus Compatible). This device uses two
independent ADCs for concurrently measuring ambient light
and proximity in parallel. The flexible interrupt scheme is
designed for minimal microcontroller utilization.
• Works Under All Light Sources Including Sunlight
For ambient light sensor (ALS) data conversions, an ADC
converts photodiode current (with a light sensitivity range of
2000 Lux) in 100ms per sample. The ADC rejects 50Hz/60Hz
flicker noise caused by artificial light sources. The IALS pin
provides an analog output current proportional to the
measured light (420μA FSR).
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.
The ISL29030 provides low power operation of ALS and 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).
The ISL29030 uses both a hardware pin and software bits to
indicate an interrupt event has occurred. An ALS interrupt is
defined as a measurement which is outside a set window. A
proximity interrupt is defined as a measurement over a
threshold limit. The user may also require that both ALS/prox
interrupts occur at once, up to 16 times in a row before
activating the interrupt pin.
The ISL29030 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.

Principles of Operation
Photodiodes and ADCs
I2C Interface
The ISL29030 contains two photodiode arrays which convert
photons (light) into current. The ALS photodiodes are constructed to
mimic the human eye’s wavelength response curve to visible light
(see Figure 7). The ALS photodiodes’ current output is digitized by a
12-bit ADC in 100ms. These 12 bits can be accessed by reading
from I2C registers 0x9 and 0xA when the ADC conversion is
completed.
The ISL29030’s I2C interface slave address is internally hardwired
as 0b1000100.
Figure 2 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).
For more information about the I2C standard, please consult the
Philips™ I2C specification documents.

The ALS converter is a charge-balancing integrating 12-bit ADC.
Charge-balancing is best for converting small current signals in the
presence of periodic AC noise. Integrating over 100ms highly rejects
both 50Hz and 60Hz light flicker by picking the lowest integer
number of cycles for both 50Hz/60Hz frequencies.

FIGURE 3. TIMING DIAGRAM FOR PROX/ALS EVENTS - NOT TO SCALE
The proximity sensor is an 8-bit ADC which operates in a similar
fashion. When proximity sensing is enabled, the IRDR pin will
drive a user-supplied infrared LED, the emitted IR reflects off an
object (i.e., a human head) back into the ISL29030, and a sensor
converts the reflected IR wave to a current signal in 0.54ms. The
ADC 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.
The ISL29030 is designed to run two conversions concurrently: a
proximity conversion and an ALS (or IR) conversion. Please note that
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) or ALSIR_DT1/2 (wait 100ms). The timing
between ALS and Prox conversions is arbitrary (as shown in Figure 3).
The ALS runs continuously with new data available every 100ms. The
proximity sensor runs continuously with a time between conversions
decided by PROX_SLP (Register 1 Bits [6:4]).
Ambient Light and IR Sensing
The ISL29030 is set for ambient light sensing when Register bit
ALSIR_MODE = 0 and ALR_EN = 1. The light-wavelength response of
the ALS appears as shown in Figure 6. ALS measuring mode (as
opposed to IR measuring mode) is set by default.
When the part is programmed for infrared (IR) sensing
(ALSIR_MODE = 1; ALS_EN = 1), infrared light is converted into a
current and digitized by the same ALS ADC. The result of an IR
conversion is strongly related to the amount of IR energy incident
on our sensor, but is unitless and is referred to in digital counts.
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
fixed 110mA current pulse. If this bit is high, the load on IRDR
10
will see a fixed 220mA current pulse as seen in Figure 4.

(PROX_DR = 0)
PIN 8 - IRDR
(IRDR IS HI-Z WHEN
NOT DRIVING)
FIGURE 4. CURRENT DRIVE MODE OPTIONS
When the IR from the LED reaches an object and gets reflected
back into the ISL29030, 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.
I lRDR ;PEAK × 100μs
I lRDR ;AVE = ----------------------------------------------------T SLEEP
(EQ. 1)
A typical IRDR scheme is 220mA amplitude pulses every 800ms,
which yields 28μA DC.
Total Current Consumption
Total current consumption is the sum of IDD and IIRDR. The IRDR
pin sinks current (as shown in Figure 4) and the average IRDR
current can be calculated using Equation 1. IDD depends on
voltage and the mode-of-operation as seen in Figure 11.
Interrupt Function
The ISL29030 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
FN6872.1
November 12, 2012
ISL29030
independent light sensor which can instruct a system to “wake
up” or “go to sleep.”
An ALS interrupt event (ALS_FLAG) is governed by Registers 5 through
7. The user writes a high and low threshold value to these registers
and the ISL29030 will issue an ALS interrupt flag if the actual count
stored in Registers 0x9 and 0xA are outside the user’s programmed
window. The user must write 0 to clear the ALS_FLAG.
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
following 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.
Interrupt persistency is another useful option available for both
ALS and proximity measurements. Persistency requires X-in-arow interrupt flags before the INT pin is driven low. Both ALS and
Prox have their own independent interrupt persistency options.
See ALS_PRST and PROX_PRST bits in Register 2.
The final interrupt option is the ability to AND or OR the two
interrupt flags using Register 2 Bit 0 (INT_CTRL). If the user
wants both ALS/Prox interrupts to happen at the same time
before changing the state of the interrupt pin, set this bit high. If
the user wants the interrupt pin to change state when either the
ALS or the Proximity interrupt flag goes high, leave this bit to its
default of 0.
Analog-Out IALS Pin
When ALS_EN = 1, The analog IALS output pin sources a current
directly proportional to the digital count stored in register bits
ALSIRDATA[11:0]. When ALS_EN = 0, this pin is in a high
impedance state. See Figure 15 for the effects of the compliance
voltage VI_ALS on IALS.
ALS Range 1 Considerations
When measuring ALS counts higher than 1800 on range 1
(ALSIR_MODE = 0, ALS_RANGE = 0, ALS_DATA > 1800), switch
to range 2 (change the ALS_RANGE bit from “0” to “1”) and
remeasure ALS counts. This recommendation pertains only to
applications where the light incident upon the sensor is IR-heavy
and is distorted by tinted glass that increases the ratio of infrared
to visible light. For more information, see the separate ALS
Range 1 Considerations document.
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.
11
Power-Down
The power-down can be set 2 ways by the user. The first is to set both
PROX_EN and ALS_EN bits to 0 in Register 1. The second and more
simple way is to set all bits in Register 1 to 0 (0x00).
Calculating Lux
The ISL29030’s ADC output codes are directly proportional to lux
when in ALS mode (see ALSIR_MODE bit).
E calc = α RANGE × OUT ADC
(EQ. 2)
In Equation 2, Ecalc is the calculated lux reading and OUT
represents the ADC code. The constant α to plug in is determined
by the range bit ALS_RANGE (register 0x1 bit 1) and is
independent of the light source type.
TABLE 15. ALS SENSITIVITY AT DIFFERENT RANGES
ALS_RANGE
αRANGE
(Lux/Count)
0
0.0326
1
0.522
Table 15 shows two different scale factors: one for the low range
(ALS_RANGE = 0) and the other for the high range (ALS_RANGE
= 1).
Noise Rejection
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 100ms: the
lowest common integer number of cycles for both frequencies.
Proximity Detection of Various Objects
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 ISL29030 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.
Typical Circuit
A typical application for the ISL29030 is shown in Figure 5. The
ISL29030’s I2C address is internally hardwired as 0b1000100.
The device can be tied onto a system’s I2C bus together with
other I2C compliant devices.

ISL29030
Soldering Considerations
Layout 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.
(http://www.intersil.com/data/tb/TB477.pdf)
The ISL29030 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.
Suggested PCB Footprint
Route the supply and I2C traces as far as possible from all sources of
noise. A 0.1µF and 1µF power supply decoupling capacitors need to be
placed close to the device.
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.
