Description
The NOA3301 combines an advanced digital proximity sensor and LED driver with an ambient light sensor (ALS) and tri-mode I2C interface with interrupt capability in an integrated monolithic device. Multiple power management features and very low active sensing power consumption directly address the power requirements of battery operated mobile phones and mobile internet devices.
FEATUREs
• Proximity Sensor, LED driver and ALS in One Device
• Very Low Power Consumption
✦ Stand- by Current 5 μA (monitoring I2C interface only,
VDD = 3 V)
✦ ALS Operational Current 50 μA
✦ Proximity Sensing Average Operational Current 100 μA
✦ Average LED Sink Current 75 μA
Proximity Sensing
• Proximity Detection Distance Threshold I2C Programmable with
12- bit Resolution and Four integration Time Ranges
(15- bit effective resolution)
