• Manufacturer Part Number: MAX44000
• Description: MAX44000 combines a wide-dynamic range ambient light sensor with an integrated infrared proximity sensor, making it a perfect solution for touch-screen portable devices
• Manufacturer: Maxim

Ambient and Infrared Proximity Sensor
The individual register bits are explained below. Default power-up bit states are highlighted in bold.
The PWRON bit in the Interrupt Status register 0x00, if set, indicates that a power-on-reset (POR) condition has
occurred, and any user-programmed thresholds cannot be valid anymore. The ALSINTS bit in the Interrupt Status reg-
ister 0x00 indicates that an ambient light interrupt condition has occurred. The PRXINTS bit in the Interrupt Status reg-
ister 0x00 indicates that a proximity receive interrupt condition has occurred. If any of these bits is set to 1, the INT pin
is pulled low and asserted. Note: On Rev-1 of the device, the PWRON bit does not pull the INT pin low, even if set to 1.
Reading the Interrupt Status register clears the PWRON, ALSINTS, and PRXINTS bits, if set, and deasserts the INT
pin. INT is pulled high by the off-chip pullup resistor. The ALSINTS and PRXINTS bits are disabled and set to 0 if the
respective interrupt enable bits in Main Configuration register 0x01 are set to 0.

No interrupt trigger event has occurred.
The ambient light intensity has traversed outside the designated window limits defined by
Threshold registers for greater than persist timer count ALSPST[1:0], or an overflow condition in the ambient light
readings has occurred. 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 the ALSINTE bit in register 0x01 to 0.
