Low Power Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor with Intelligent Interrupt and Sleep Modes - Analog and Digital Out

The ISL29030 is an integrated ambient and infrared light-to-digital converter with a built-in IR LED driver and I2C Interface (SMBus Compatible). This device uses two independent ADCs for concurrently measuring ambient light and proximity in parallel. The flexible interrupt scheme is designed for minimal microcontroller utilization.
