I bought this Sparkfun board a couple of weeks ago. And glad I did. Then I though I might order so sensors from DigiKey and practice surface mount soldering.
Surprise. The ISL29125 sensor is no longer sold, it is obsolete.
Intersil made the original sensor. Renesas purchased Intersil in 2017. Renesas issued an End of Life Notice in June 2021 and stated that the Final Last Time Buy would be December 2021.
Unless I’m missing it I do not see any notice of obsolescence on the Sparkfun ISL29125 product page. The downloadable data sheet is an older one from Intersil. If you get that same data sheet from Renesas, it says Obsolete.
This does not affect me at all but maybe some other customers would like to know that this sensor is obsolete
