NOA3315W
Digital Proximity Sensor
with Dual Ambient Light
Sensors and Interrupt
Description
The NOA3315W combines an advanced digital proximity sensor
and LED driver with dual ambient light sensors (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.
The proximity sensor measures reflected light intensity with a high
degree of precision and excellent ambient light rejection. The
NOA3315W enables a proximity sensor system with a 16:1
programmable LED drive current range and a 30 dB overall proximity
detection range. The dual ambient light sensors include one with a
photopic light filter and one with no filter. Both have dark current

compensation and high sensitivity eliminating inaccurate light level
detection and insuring proper backlight control even in the presence of
dark cover glass.
ORDERING INFORMATION
The NOA3315W is ideal for improving the user experience by
enhancing the screen interface with the ability to measure distance for
near/far detection in real time and the ability to respond to ambient
