The ISL29102 is a low cost light-to-voltage silicon optical sensor combining a photodiode array, a non-linear current amplifier and a micro-power op amp on a single monolithic IC. Similar
to human eyes, the photodiode array has peak sensitivity at 550nm and spans from 400nm to 600nm, rejecting UV light and IR light. The input luminance range is from 0.3 lux to 10,000
lux.
The integrated non-linear current amplifier boosts and converts the photodiode signal in a square root fashion, extending the light input dynamic range while maintaining excellent
sensitivity at dim conditions with low lux levels. The device consumes minimal power over a wide range of ambient lux levels because the current consumption ramps at a square root fashion.
A dark current compensation circuit minimizes the effect of temperature dependent leakage currents in the absence of light, improving the light sensity at low lux levels while maintaining
excellent sensitivity at low lux levels. The built-in 1
