The MAX44000GDT+T is an ambient and infrared proximity sensor in 6 pin OTDFN package. This industry"s lowest power integrated ambient light and proximity sensor provides reliable measurements combines wide dynamic range ambient light sensor with an integrated infrared proximity sensor. The IC can consume as low as 11µA (time averaged) in ambient light sensing plus proximity sensing including external IR LED current. The on-chip ambient sensor has ability to make wide dynamic range from 0.03lux to 65535lux measurements. An on-chip IR proximity detector is matched with an integrated IR LED driver. A programmable interrupt pin minimizes need to poll device for data, freeing up microcontroller resources, reducing system software overhead and educing power consumption. It has low power operation (5µA in ambient mode, 7µA in ambient plus proximity mode, 70µA in ambient plus proximity mode including 100mA LED current).
