Datasheet

General Description
The MAX44000PMB1 peripheral module provides the
necessary hardware to interface the MAX44000 ambient
and infrared proximity sensor to any system that utilizes
PmodK-compatible expansion ports configurable for I
2
C
communication. The IC combines a wide-dynamic range
ambient light sensor with an integrated infrared (IR)
proximity sensor. The on-chip ambient light sensor has
the ability to make wide dynamic range 0.03 lux to 65,535
lux measurements. An on-chip IR proximity detector is
matched with an integrated IR LED driver. All readings
are available on an I
2
C communication bus.
Refer to the MAX44000 IC data sheet for detailed informa-
tion regarding operation of the IC.
