Proximity/Ambient Light Sensor IC with I C Interface
KEY FEATURES
The Si115x-AB00/AB09/AB9x is an ambient light sensor, proximity, and gesture detector
with I2C digital interface and programmable-event interrupt output.
• Proximity detector
• From under 1 cm, to 50 cm without
additional lensing.
This touchless sensor IC includes dual 23-bit analog-to-digital converters, an integrated
high-sensitivity array of visible and infrared photodiodes, a digital signal processor, and
up to three integrated LED drivers with programmable drive levels. The Si115x offers ex-
cellent performance under a wide dynamic range and a variety of light sources, including
direct sunlight. The Si115x can also work under dark glass covers. The photodiode re-
sponse and associated digital conversion circuitry provide excellent immunity to artificial
light flicker noise and natural light flutter noise. With two or more LEDs, the Si115x is
capable of supporting multiple-axis proximity motion detection. The Si115x is provided in
a 10-lead 2x2 mm DFN package or in a 10-lead 2.9x4.9 mm LGA module with integra-
ted LED, and is capable of operation from 1.62 to 3.6 V over the –40 to +85 °C tempera-
ture range.
• From under 1 cm, to 200 cm with
additional lensing (e.g., 5 mm
hemispherical lens as in our EVB).
• Up to three independent LED drivers.
• 30 current settings from 5.6 mA to 360
mA for each LED driver.
• Operates in direct sunlight with optional
on-die 940 nm passband filter.
• On die 940 bandpass filter that rejects
unwanted visible light and IR from
daylight and other sources (Si115x-
AB09/AB9X).
