Proximity Interrupt Status (PRXINTS)
No interrupt trigger event has occurred.
OPERATION
The IR proximity receive intensity has exceeded the threshold limit for greater than persist
timer count PRXPST[1:0]. This bit also causes the INT pin to be pulled low. Once set, the only way to clear this bit is
to read this register or to set PRXINTE bit to 0.
Power-On Reset Status (PWRON)
No interrupt trigger event has occurred.
OPERATION
The part went through a power-up event, either because the part was turned on or because there was a power-
supply voltage glitch. All interrupt threshold settings in the registers have been reset to a default state and should
be examined. A 1 on this bit also causes the INT pin to be pulled low. Note: INT is not pulled low on Rev-1 of the
IC. Once this bit is set, the only way to clear this bit is to read this register.

TRIM
OPERATION
Use bytes written to TRIM_GAIN_GREEN[7:0] and TRIM_GAIN_IR[7:0] registers to set the fine-trim gain of the
green and IR gain channels.
Use factory-programmed gains for green and IR channels. Ignore bytes written to TRIM_GAIN_GREEN[7:0] and
TRIM_GAIN_IR[7:0] registers.
The 3-bit MODE[2:0] defines eight operating modes for the IC, as shown below.

Analog circuits are shut down, but the digital register retains values.
Standard ALS mode stores the difference between green and infrared channel readings.
Proximity channel operation and updates are disabled.
ALS green channel only. Proximity channel operation and updates are disabled.
Infrared channel only. Proximity channel operation and updates are disabled.
ALS and PROX are interleaved continuously.
