DATASHEET ISL29501 FN8681 Rev.6.00 Time of Flight (ToF) Signal Processing IC Dec 3, 2020 the ISL29501 is a Time of Flight (ToF) based signal processing Features integrated circuit. The sensor enables low cost, low power, and Enables proximity detection and distance measurement long range optical distance sensing when combined with an external emitter and detector. Modulation frequency of 4.5MHz The ISL29501 has a built-in current DAC circuit that drives an Emitter DAC with programmable current up to 255mA external LED or laser. The modulated light from the emitter is Operates in Continuous and Single Shot mode reflected off the target and is received by the photodiode. The On-chip active ambient light rejection photodiode then converts the returned signal into current, which is used by the ISL29501 for signal processing. Auto gain control mechanism Interrupt controller An on-chip Digital Signal Processor (DSP) calculates the time of flight, which is proportional to the target distance. The Supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.3V 2 ISL29501 is equipped with an I C interface for configuration 2 I C interface supporting 1.8V and 3.3V bus and control. Low profile 24 Ld 4x5 QFN package Use of an external photodiode and emitter allows the user to optimize the system design for performance, power Applications consumption, and distance measurement range that suit their Mobile consumer applications industrial design. Industrial proximity sensing The ISL29501 is wavelength agnostic and permits the use of other optical wavelengths if better suited for applications.
