INTEGRATION TIME IN EXTERNAL TIMING MODE
The External Timing Mode is recommended when the
integration time is needed to synchronize to an external
signal, such as a PWM to eliminate noise.
The synchronization can be implemented by using I
command. The 1st I
The 2nd completes the conversion then starts over again to
commence the next conversion. The integration time, t

internal and external timing modes. However, in External
Timing Mode, the number of clock cycles per integration is no
longer fixed at 2
chosen integration time, and is limited to 2
to avoid erroneous readings the integration time must be short
enough not to allow an overflow in the counter register.
Noise Rejection
In general, integrating type ADCs have excellent
noise-rejection characteristics for periodic noise sources
whose frequency is an integer multiple of the conversion
rate. 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.
Optical Design
Flat Window Lens Design
A window lens will surely limit the viewing angle of the
ISL29020. The window lens should be placed directly on top
of the device. The thickness of the lens should be kept at
minimum to minimize loss of power due to reflection and
also to minimize loss due to absorption of energy in the
plastic material. A thickness of t = 1mm is recommended for

ISL29020
a window lens design. The bigger the diameter of the
window lens, the wider the viewing angle is of the ISL29020.
Table 11 shows the recommended dimensions of the optical
window to ensure both 35° and 45° viewing angle. These
dimensions are based on a window lens thickness of 1.0mm
and a refractive index of 1.59.
Window with Light Guide Design
If a smaller window is desired while maintaining a wide
effective viewing angle of the ISL29020, a cylindrical piece of
transparent plastic is needed to trap the light and then focus
and guide the light onto the device. Hence, the name light
guide or also known as light pipe. The pipe should be placed
directly on top of the device with a distance of D1 = 0.5mm
to achieve peak performance. The light pipe should have
minimum of 1.5mm in diameter to ensure that whole area of
the sensor will be exposed. See Figure 5.
