Renesas Electronics Corporation Proximity Sensor with Intelligent Interrupt and Sleep Modes ISL29027IROZ-T7

The ISL29027 is an integrated infrared light-to-digital converter with a built-in IR LED driver and Isup2/supC Interface (SMBus Compatible). The flexible interrupt scheme is designed for minimal microcontroller utilization.brbr 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.brbr 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).brbr 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.brbr 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.
