COUNTER is the number increments accrued for between
integration time for External Timing Mode.
Gain/Range, Range (k)
The Gain/Range can be programmed in the control register
to give Range (k) determining the FSR. Note that Range(k)
is not the FSR (see Equation 3). Range(k) provides four
constants depending on programmed k that will be scaled by
R
adjusts the FSR. This function is especially useful when light
conditions are varying drastically while maintaining excellent
resolution.
Number of Clock Cycles, n-bit ADC
The number of clock cycles determines “n” in the n-bit ADC; 2
clock cycles is a n-bit ADC. n is programmable in the command
register in the width function. Depending on the application, a
good balance of speed and resolution has to be considered
when deciding for n. For fast and quick measurement, choose
the smallest n = 4. For maximum resolution without regard of
time, choose n = 16. Table 12 compares the trade-off between
integration time and resolution. See Equations 10 and 11 for the
relation between integration time and n. See Equation 3 for the
relation of n and resolution.

Integration Time or Conversion Time
Integration time is the period during which the device’s
analog-to-digital ADC converter samples the photodiode
current signal for a lux measurement. Integration time, in
other words, is the time to complete the conversion of analog
photodiode current into a digital signal (number of counts).
Integration time affects the measurement resolution. For
better resolution, use a longer integration time. For short and
fast conversions use a shorter integration time.
The ISL29003 offers user flexibility in the integration time to
balance resolution, speed and noise rejection. Integration time
can be set internally or externally and can be programmed in
the command register 00(hex) bit 5.
INTEGRATION TIME IN INTERNAL TIMING MODE
This timing mode is programmed in the command register
00(hex) bit 5. Most applications will be using this timing
mode. When using the Internal Timing Mode, f
