Ambient Light Sensor
Features
The ISL29001 is an integrated ambient light sensor with
• Human eye response
• Temperature compensated
• 15-bit effective resolution
2
ADC and I C interface. With a spectral sensitivity curve
matched to that of the human eye, the ISL29001 provides
15-bit effective resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz
flicker caused by artificial light sources.
• Adjustable resolution: 3 to 15 counts per lux
• Simple output code, directly proportional to lux
• 0.3 lux to 10,000 lux range
In normal operation, the ISL29001 consumes less than
300µA of supply current. A software power-down mode

controlled via the I C interface disables all but the I C
interface. A power-down pin is also provided which reduces
power consumption to less than 1µA.
• IR rejection
• 50Hz/60Hz rejection
The ISL29001 includes an internal oscillator which provides
100ms automatic integration periods, or can be externally

• I C interface

• 2.5V to 3.3V supply
timed by I C commands. Both the internal timing and the
illuminance resolution can be adjusted with an external
resistor.
• 6-pin ODFN (2.1mm x 2mm)
• Pb-Free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant)
Designed to operate on supplies from 2.5V to 3.3V, the
ISL29001 is specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C
ambient temperature range. It is packaged in a clear 6-pin
ODFN package.
Applications
• Ambient light sensing
• Ambient backlight control
• Temperature control systems
• Contrast control

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100%
matte tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and
compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow
temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of
IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
