NOTES:
13. The ISL29038 Proximity distance sweeps with different IRDR LED current settings using an 18% Grey card reflector.
14. The ISL29038 Ambient Light Sensor Spectral response when compared to a theoretical CIE 1924 Photopic curve. The ‘Blue’ line shows the ISL29038
response and the ‘Red’ line depicts the CIE 1924 Photopic curve.
15. The ISL29038 Proximity Ambient Light Rejection using a Norwood Solar Emulator. At 40k lux ambient light level, the Proximity Washout Count (Reg
0x0D[7:1]) is 127 indicating a saturation in Proximity Signal processing path. The Proximity Washout bit 0x0D[0] is active at approximately 90% of
the maximum level. At 10% initial PROX count (due to optical leakage from IR LED to the ISL29038), the PROX data error is under 2%. At 50% initial
PROX count (severe optical leakage), the PROX data error is about 7%.
16. The Ambient Light Sensor Angular Sensitivity of the ISL29038 using a white LED light source.
