Light-to-Digital Sensor
The ISL29001 is an integrated ambient light sensor with ADC and I2C 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.
In normal operation, the ISL29001 consumes less than 300µA of supply current. A software power-down mode controlled via the I2C interface disables all but the I2C interface. A power-down pin is also provided, which reduces power consumption to less than 1µA.
The ISL29001 includes an internal oscillator, which provides 100ms automatic integration...
