Maxim introduces the MAX44000, a digital ambient-light and infrared proximity sensor that detects light like a human eye. The IC integrates three optical sensors, two ADCs, and digital functionality into a 2mm x 2mm x 0.6mm package. The MAX44000 consumes 5µA when the ambient sensor is enabled, and 7µA when both the proximity sensor and ambient light sensor are activated.
Designed for the tight space requirements of portable systems, the MAX44000 is offered in a lead-free, 2mm x 2mm x 0.6mm, 6-pin UTDFN-Opto-EP package. The part operates between -40°C to +105°C. Prices start at $1.65 (1000-up, FOB USA).
