INTEGRATION TIME IN EXTERNAL TIMING MODE
This timing mode is programmed in the command register
00(hex) bit 5. External Timing Mode is recommended when
integration time can be synchronized to an external signal
(such as a PWM) to eliminate noise.
For Mode1 or Mode2 operation, the integration starts when
the sync_iic command is sent over the I
needs two sync_iic commands to complete a photodiode
conversion. The integration then stops when another
sync_iic command is received. Writing a logic 1 to the
sync_iic bit ends the current ADC integration and starts
another one.
For Mode3, the operation is a sequential Mode1 and Mode2.
The device needs three sync_iic commands to complete two
photodiode measurements. The 1st sync_iic command starts
the conversion of the Diode1. The 2nd sync_iic completes the
conversion of Diode1 and starts the conversion of Diode2.
The 3rd sync_iic pulse ends the conversion of Diode2 and
starts over again to commence conversion of Diode1.

Noise Rejection
In general, integrating type ADC’s have excellent
noise-rejection characteristics for periodic noise sources
whose frequency is an integer multiple of the integration
time. For instance, a 60Hz AC unwanted signal’s sum from
0ms to k*16.66ms (k = 1,2...k
device’s integration time to be an integer multiple of the
periodic noise signal greatly improves the light sensor output
signal in the presence of noise.
DESIGN EXAMPLE 1
The ISL29003 will be designed in a portable system. The
ambient light conditions that the device will be exposed to is
at most 500 lux, which is a good office lighting. The light
source has a 50/60Hz power line noise, which is not visible
by the human eye. The I
Solution 1
Using Internal Timing Mode
In order to achieve both 60Hz and 50Hz AC noise rejection,
the integration time needs to be adjusted to coincide with an
integer multiple of the AC noise cycle times.
The first instance of integer values at which t
60Hz and 50Hz is when i = 6, and j = 5.
Next, the Gain/Range needs to be determined. Based on the
application condition given, lux(max) = 500 lux, a range of
1000 lux is desirable. This corresponds to a Gain/Range
Range1 mode. Also impose a resolution of n = 16-bit.
Hence, we choose Equation 10 to determine R
The Full Scale Range, FSR, needs to be determined from
