ISL29038IROZ-T7

Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor 8Pin ODFN EP T/R

The ISL29038 is a low power Ambient Light Sensor ALS and proximity PROX sensor. It has a built-in IR-LED driver for proximity function. The ALS function measures the amount of light in the visible spectrum incident on the ISL29038.

The ALS function has a programmable ambient IR-rejection, which allows fine tuning of light source variations and is ideal for light sensor applications under dark protective glass. The ALS provides a 12-bit measurement. A passive optical filter removes unwanted wavelengths IR or Ultraviolet to ensure accurate ALS measurement.
