PRESCALER
PRESCALER
The Gain register provides a common gain control adjustment for all four parallel ADC output channels. Two
gain bits [5:4] in the Gain Register allow the relative gain to be adjusted from 1
advantage of the gain adjust is to extend the dynamic range of the light input up to a factor of 64
or digital saturation occurs. If analog saturation has occurred, lowering the gain sensitivity will likely prevent
analog saturation especially when the integration time is relatively short. For longer integration times, the 16-bit
output could be in digital saturation (64K). If lowering the gain to 1
occurring, the use of PRESCALER can be useful.
The PRESCALER is 3 bits [2:0] in the gain register that divides down the output count (i.e. shifts the LSB of the
count value to the right). The PRESCALER adjustment range is divide by 1 to 64 in multiples of 2.
The most sensitive gain setting of the device would be when GAIN is set to 11b (64
to 000b (divide by 1). The least sensitive part setting would be GAIN 00 (1
64). If the part continues to be in digital saturation at the least sensitive setting, the integration time can be
lowered (see Timing Register section).
