Industry's Easiest-to-Use Light-to-Digital Sensor ICs Extend Battery Life and Deliver Enhanced Functionality
Intersil Corporation has introduced the industry’s easiest-to-use light-to-digital sensors, designed to increase battery life and deliver enhanced functionality and performance in mobile, computer and consumer electronic products.
Intersil ISL29010 and ISL29013 Light Sensors Feature Gain Selection, Near-Human Eye Spectral Response for IR Radiation Rejection, Low Supply Current and I2C Interface.
The new ISL29010 and ISL29013 are highly accurate sensors that measure and digitize the value of ambient light and then allow access to that information through a standard I2C interface. This provides a simple way to improve efficiency and functionality in end products by enabling applications to automatically adjust to varying light conditions. Performance advantages include extended battery life from keypad and display dimming in mobile devices as well as increased performance in displays for LCD panels, digital picture frames and digital cameras.
The spectral response of these devices attenuates unwanted IR radiation to provide accurate light measurement even in extreme low-light conditions. This is accomplished by integrating a full light-to-digital solution that includes specially tuned photodiodes to remove all unwanted IR noise, a signed 15-bit integrating ADC that allows for low-light sensitivity and automatic noise cancellation.
