Ambient and Infrared Proximity Sensor

Proximity Interrupt Status (PRXINTS)

Power-On Reset Status (PWRON)

Main Configuration Register (0x01)

This register is used to set the operating mode of the IC (ALS and/or proximity) and enable interrupt operation of the

device.

TRIM

MODE[2:0]

The 3-bit MODE[2:0] defines eight operating modes for the IC, as shown below.

BIT 1 OPERATION

0 No interrupt trigger event has occurred.

The IR proximity receive intensity has exceeded the threshold limit for greater than persist

timer count PRXPST[1:0]. This bit also causes the INT pin to be pulled low. Once set, the only way to clear this bit is

to read this register or to set PRXINTE bit to 0.

BIT 2 OPERATION

0 No interrupt trigger event has occurred.

The part went through a power-up event, either because the part was turned on or because there was a power-

supply voltage glitch. All interrupt threshold settings in the registers have been reset to a default state and should

be examined. A 1 on this bit also causes the INT pin to be pulled low. Note: INT is not pulled low on Rev-1 of the

IC. Once this bit is set, the only way to clear this bit is to read this register.

BIT 5 OPERATION

Use bytes written to TRIM_GAIN_GREEN[7:0] and TRIM_GAIN_IR[7:0] registers to set the fine-trim gain of the

green and IR gain channels.

Use factory-programmed gains for green and IR channels. Ignore bytes written to TRIM_GAIN_GREEN[7:0] and

TRIM_GAIN_IR[7:0] registers.

OPERATION

000 Shutdown Analog circuits are shut down, but the digital register retains values.

001 ALS G-IR

Standard ALS mode stores the difference between green and infrared channel readings.

Proximity channel operation and updates are disabled.

010 ALS G ALS green channel only. Proximity channel operation and updates are disabled.

011 ALS IR Infrared channel only. Proximity channel operation and updates are disabled.

100 ALS/PROX ALS and PROX are interleaved continuously.

101 PROX Only PROX only continuously. ALS channel operation and updates are disabled.
