GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADPD103 is a highly efficient photometric front end with
an integrated 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a
20-bit burst accumulator that works in concert with flexible
light emitting diode (LED) drivers. It is designed to stimulate an
LED and measure the corresponding optical return signal. The
data output and functional configuration occur over a 1.8 V I2C
interface. The control circuitry includes flexible LED signaling and
synchronous detection.
The analog front end (AFE) features best-in-class rejection of signal
offset and corruption due to modulated interference commonly
caused by ambient light.
Couple the ADPD103 with a low capacitance photodiode of
<100 pF for optimal performance. The ADPD103 can be used with
any LED.

1 LED inductance is negligible for these values. The effective slew rate slows with increased inductance.
2 The maximum values in this specification are the internal ADC sampling rates in normal mode. The I2C read rates in some configurations may limit the actual output
data rate of the device
3 This mode may induce additional noise and is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. The 1.8 V setting uses VDD, which contains greater amounts of
differential voltage noise with respect to the anode voltage. A differential voltage between the anode and cathode injects a differential current across the capacitance
of the photodiode of the magnitude C × dV/dt.
4 This setting is not recommended for photodiodes because it causes a 1.3 V forward bias of the photodiode.

1 This saturation level applies to the ADC only and, therefore, includes only the pulsed signal. Any nonpulsatile signal is removed prior to the ADC stage.
2 ADC resolution is listed per pulse when the AFE offset is correctly compensated per the AFE Operation section. If using multiple pulses, divide by the number of pulses.
3 This saturation level applies to the full signal path and, therefore, includes both the ambient signal and the pulsed signal.
4 The noise term of the saturation SNR value refers to the receive noise only and does not include photon shot noise or any noise on the LED signal itself.

THEORY OF OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The ADPD103 operates as a complete optical transceiver
stimulating up to three LEDs and measuring the return signal
on up to eight separate current inputs. The core consists of a
photometric front end coupled with an ADC, digital block, and
three independent LED drivers. The core circuitry stimulates
the LEDs and measures the return in the analog block through
one to eight photodiode inputs, storing the results in discrete data
locations. The eight inputs are broken into two blocks of four
simultaneous input channels. Data can be read directly by a
register, or through a FIFO. This highly integrated system includes
an analog signal processing block, digital signal processing block,
I2C communication interface, and programmable pulsed LED
current sources.
The LED driver is a current sink and is agnostic to LED supply
voltage and LED type. The photodiode (PDx) inputs can
accommodate any photodiode with an input capacitance of less
than 100 pF. The ADPD103 is purposefully designed to produce
a high SNR for relatively low LED power while greatly reducing
the effect of ambient light on the measured signal.
DUAL TIME SLOT OPERATION
The ADPD103 operates in two independent time slots, Time Slot A
and Time Slot B, which are carried out sequentially. The entire
signal path from LED stimulation to data capture and processing is
executed during each time slot. Each time slot has a separate
datapath that uses independent settings for the LED driver, AFE
setup, and the resulting data. Time Slot A and Time Slot B operate
in sequence for every sampling period, as shown in Figure 10.
The timing parameters are defined as follows:
tA (µs) = SLOTA_LED_OFFSET + nA × SLOTA_LED_PERIOD
where nA is the number of pulses for Time Slot A (Register 0x31,
Bits[15:8]).
tB s) = SLOTB_LED_OFFSET + nB × SLOTB_LED_PERIOD
where nB is the number of pulses for Time Slot B (Register 0x36,
Bits[15:8]).
Calculate the LED period using the following equation:
LED_PERIOD, minimum = 2 × AFE_WIDTH + 11
t1 and t2 are fixed and based on the computation time for each
slot. If a slot is not in use, these times do not add to the total
active time. Table 12 defines the values for these LED and
sampling time parameters.

TIME SLOT SWITCH
Up to eight photodiodes (PD1 to PD8) can be connected to the
ADPD103. The photodiode anodes are connected to the PD1 to
PD8 input pins; the photodiode cathodes are connected to the
cathode pin, PDC. The anodes are assigned in three different
configurations depending on the settings of Register 0x14 (see
Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13).
A switch sets which photodiode group is connected during Time
Slot A and Time Slot B. See Table 13 for the time slot switch
registers. When using less than eight photodiodes, it is important
to leave the unused inputs floating for proper operation of the
device. The photodiode inputs are current inputs and as such, these
pins are also considered to be voltage outputs. Tying these inputs to
a voltage may saturate the analog block.

ADJUSTABLE SAMPLING FREQUENCY
Register 0x12 controls the sampling frequency setting of the
ADPD103 and Register 0x4B, Bits[5:0] further tunes this clock
for greater accuracy. The sampling frequency is governed by an
internal 32 kHz sample rate clock that also drives the transition
of the internal state machine. The maximum sampling frequencies
for some sample conditions are listed in Table 3. The maximum
sample frequency for all conditions is determined by the
following equation:
fSAMPLE, MAX = 1/(tA + t1 + tB + t2 + tSLEEP, MIN)
If a given time slot is not in use, elements from that time slot do
not factor into the calculation. For example, if Time Slot A is not
in use, tA and t1 do not add to the sampling period and the new
maximum sampling frequency is calculated as follows:
fSAMPLE, MAX = 1/( tB + t2 + tSLEEP, MIN)
where tS L E E P, MIN is the minimum sleep time required between
samples. See the Dual Time Slot Operation section for the
definitions of tA, t1, tB, and t2.
External Sync for Sampling
The ADPD103 provides an option to use an external sync signal
to trigger the sampling periods. This external sample sync signal
can be provided either on the INT pin or the PDSO pin. This
functionality is controlled by Register 0x4F, Bits[3:2]. When
enabled, a rising edge on the selected input specifies when the
next sample cycle occurs. When triggered, there is a delay of one to
two internal sampling clock (32 kHz) cycles, and then the normal
start-up sequence occurs. This sequence is the same as if the
normal sample timer provided the trigger. To enable the external
sync signal feature, use the following procedure:
1. Write 0x1 to Register 0x10 to enter program mode.
2. Write the appropriate value to Register 0x4F, Bits[3:2] to
select whether the INT pin or the PDSO pin specifies when
the next sample cycle occurs. Also, enable the appropriate
input buffer using Register 0x4F, Bit 1, for the INT pin, or
Register 0x4F, Bit 5, for the PDSO pin.
3. Write b1 to EXT_SYNC_ENA, Register 0x38, Bit 14 to
enable the external sampling trigger.
4. Write 0x2 to Register 0x10 to start the sampling operations.
5. Apply the external sync signal on the selected pin at the
desired rate; sampling occurs at that rate. As with normal
sampling operations, read the data using the FIFO or the
data registers.
The maximum frequency constraints also apply in this case.
Providing an External 32kHz Clock
The ADPD103 has an option for the user to provide an external
32 kHz clock to the device for system synchronization or for
situations where a clock with better accuracy than the internal
32 kHz clock is required. The external 32 kHz clock is provided
on the PDSO pin. To enable the 32 kHz external clock, use the
following procedure at startup:
1. Drive the PDSO pin to a valid logic level or with the
desired 32 kHz clock prior to enabling the PDSO pin as an
input. Do not leave the pin floating prior to enabling it.
2. Write b1 to Register 0x4F, Bit 5 to enable the PDSO pin as
an input.
3. Write b11 to register 0x4B, Bit 7 and Bit 8 (CLK32K_EN
and CLK32K_BYP, respectively) to configure the device to
use an external 32 kHz clock.
4. Write 0x1 to Register 0x10 to enter program mode.
5. Write additional control registers in any order while the
device is in program mode to configure the device as
required.
6. Write 0x2 to Register 0x10 to start the normal sampling
operation.

Figure 14. State Machine Operation Flowchart
The ADPD103 operates in one of three modes: standby,
program, and normal sampling mode.
Standby mode is a power saving mode in which no data collection
occurs. All register values are retained in this mode. To place
the device in standby mode, write 0x0 to Register 0x10,
Bits[1:0]. The device powers up in standby mode.
Program mode is used for programming registers. Always cycle
the ADPD103 through program mode when writing registers or
changing modes. Because no power cycling occurs in this mode,
the device may consume higher current in program mode than
in normal operation. To place the device in program mode,
write 0x1 to Register 0x10, Bits[1:0].
In normal operation, the ADPD103 pulses light and collects
data. Power consumption in this mode depends on the pulse
count and data rate. To place the device in normal sampling
mode, write 0x2 to Register 0x10, Bits[1:0].
NORMAL MODE OPERATION AND DATA FLOW
In normal mode, the ADPD103 follows a specific pattern set up by
the state machine. This pattern is shown in the corresponding data
flow in Figure 15. The pattern is as follows:
1. LED pulse and sample.The ADPD103 pulses external LEDs.
The response of a photodiode or photodiodes to the reflected
light is measured by the ADPD103. Each data sample is
constructed from the sum of n individual pulses, where n
is user configurable between 1 and 255.
2. Intersample averaging. If desired, the logic can average n
samples, from 2 to 128 in powers of 2, to produce output
data. New output data is saved to the output registers every
N samples.
3. Data read. The host processor reads the converted results
from the data register or the FIFO.
4. Repeat. The sequence has a few different loops that enable
different types of averaging while keeping both time slots
close in time relative to each other.

LED Pulse and Sample
At each sampling period, the selected LED driver drives a series
of LED pulses, as shown in Figure 16. The magnitude, duration,
and number of pulses are programmable over the I2C interface.
Each LED pulse coincides with a sensing period so that the sensed
value represents the total charge acquired on the photodiode in
response to only the corresponding LED pulse. Charge, such as
ambient light, that does not correspond to the LED pulse is
rejected.
After each LED pulse, the photodiode output relating the pulsed
LED signal is sampled and converted to a digital value by the
14-bit ADC. Each subsequent conversion within a sampling
period is summed with the previous result. Up to 255 pulse values
from the ADC can be summed in an individual sampling period.
There is a 20-bit maximum range for each sampling period.
Averaging
The ADPD103 offers sample accumulation and averaging
functionality to increase signal resolution.
Within a sampling period, the AFE can sum up to 256 sequential
pulses. As shown in Figure 15, samples acquired by the AFE are
clipped to 20 bits at the output of the AFE. Additional resolution,
up to 27 bits, can be achieved by averaging between sampling
periods. This accumulated data of N samples is stored as 27-bit
values and can be read out directly by using the 32-bit output
registers or the 32-bit FIFO configuration.
When using the averaging feature set up by the register,
subsequent pulses can be averaged by powers of 2. The user can
select from 2, 4, 8 … up to 128 samples to be averaged. Pulse
data is still acquired by the AFE at the sampling frequency,
fSAMPLE (Register 0x12), but new data is written to the registers at
the rate of fSAMPLE/N every Nth sample. This new data consists of
the sum of the previous N samples. The full 32-bit sum is stored
in the 32-bit registers. However, before sending this data to the
FIFO, a divide by N operation occurs. This divide operation
maintains bit depth to prevent clipping on the FIFO.
Use this between sample averaging to lower the noise while
maintaining 16-bit resolution. If the pulse count registers are
kept to 8 or less, the 16-bit width is never exceeded. Therefore,
when using Register 0x15 to average subsequent pulses, many
pulses can be accumulated without exceeding the 16-bit word
width. This can reduce the number of FIFO reads required by
the host processor.
Data Read
The host processor reads output data from the ADPD103, via
the I2C protocol, from the data registers or from the FIFO. New
output data is made available every N samples, where N is the user
configured averaging factor. The averaging factors for Time Slot A
and Time Slot B are configurable independently of each other. If
they are the same, both time slots can be configured to save data to
the FIFO. If the two averaging factors are different, only one time
slot can save data to the FIFO; data from the other time slot can
be read from the output registers.
The data read operations are described in more detail in the
Reading Data section.

AFE OPERATION
The timing within each pulse burst is important for optimizing
the operation of the ADPD103. Figure 17 shows the timing wave-
forms for a single time slot as an LED pulse response propagates
through the analog block of the AFE. The first graph, shown in
green, shows the ideal LED pulsed output. The filtered LED
response, shown in blue, shows the output of the analog integrator.
The third graph, shown in orange, illustrates an optimally placed
integration window. When programmed to the optimized value,
the full signal of the filtered LED response can be integrated. The
AFE integration window is then applied to the output of the band-
pass filter (BPF) and the result is sent to the ADC and summed
for N pulses. If the AFE window is not correctly sized or located, all
of the receive signal is not properly reported and system perfor-
mance is not optimal; therefore, it is important to verify proper
AFE position for every new hardware design or the LED width.
AFE INTEGRATION OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
The AFE integration width must be equal or larger than the LED
width. As AFE width increases, the output noise increases and
the ability to suppress high frequency content from the environ-
ment decreases. It is therefore desirable to keep the AFE integration
width small. However, if the AFE width is too small, the LED
signal is attenuated. With most hardware selections, the AFE
width produces the optimal SNR at 1 μs more than the LED
width. After setting LED width, LED offset, and AFE width, the
ADC offset can then be optimized. The AFE offset must be
manually set such that the falling edge of the first segment of the
integration window matches the zero crossing of the filtered LED
response.
Figure 17. AFE Operation Diagram
Data Sheet ADPD103
Rev. B | Page 19 of 52
AFE Integration Offset Starting Point
The starting point of this offset, as expressed in microseconds, is set
such that the falling edge of the integration window aligns with the
falling edge of the LED.
LED_FALLING_EDGE = LED_OFFSET + LED_WIDTH
and,
AFE_INTEGRATION_FALLING_EDGE = 9 +
AFE_OFFSET + AFE_WIDTH
If both falling edges are set equal to each other, solve for
AFE_OFFSET to obtain the following equation:
AFE_OFFSET_STARTING_POINT = LED_OFFSET +
LED_WIDTH − 9 − AFE_WIDTH
Setting the AFE offset to any point in time earlier than the
starting point is equivalent to setting the integration in the
future; the AFE cannot integrate the result from an LED pulse
that has not yet occurred. As a result, an AFE_OFFSET value less
than the AFE_OFFSET_STARTING_POINT is an erroneous
setting. Such a result may indicate that current in the TIA is
operating in the reverse direction from the intended schematic,
where the LED pulse is causing the current to leave the TIA
rather than enter it.
Because, for most setups, the AFE_WIDTH is 1 µs wider than
the LED_WIDTH, the AFE_OFFSET_STARTING_POINT
value is typically 10 µs less than the LED_OFFSET value. Any
value less than LED_OFFSET 10 is erroneous. The optimal
AFE offset is some time after the AFE_OFFSET_STARTING_
POINT. The band-pass filter response, LED response, and
photodiode response each add some delay. In general, the com-
ponent choice, board layout, LED_OFFSET, and LED_WIDTH are
the variables that can change the AFE_OFFSET. After a specific
design is set, the AFE_OFFSET can be locked down and does
not need to be optimized further.
Sweeping the AFE Position
The AFE offsets for Time Slot A and Time Slot B are controlled
by Bits[10:0] of Register 0x39 and Register 0x3B, respectively.
Each LSB represents one cycle of the 32 MHz clock, or 31.25 ns.
The register can be thought of as 211 1 of these 31.25 ns steps, or
it can be broken into an AFE_COARSE setting using Bits[10:5]
to represent 1 µs steps and Bits[4:0] to represent 31.25 ns steps.
Sweeping the AFE position from the starting point to find a
local maximum is the recommended way to optimize the AFE
offset. The setup for this test is to allow the LED light to fall on
the photodiode in a static way. This is typically done with a
reflecting surface at a fixed distance. The AFE position can then
be swept to look for changes in the output level. When adjusting
the AFE position, it is important to sweep the position using the
31.25 ns steps. Typically, a local maximum is found within 2 µs
of the starting point for most systems. Figure 18 shows an example
of an AFE sweep, where 0 on the x-axis represents the AFE starting
point defined previously. Each data point in the plot corresponds to
one 31.25 ns step of the AFE_OFFSET. The optimal location for
AFE_OFFSET in this example is 0.687 µs from the AFE starting
point.

Table 14 lists some typical LED and AFE values after optimization.
In general, it is not recommended to use the AFE_OFFSET
numbers in Table 14 without first verifying them against the AFE
sweep method. Repeat this method for every new LED width and
with every new set of hardware made with the ADPD103. For
maximum accuracy, it is recommended that the 32 MHz clock be
calibrated prior to sweeping the AFE.

I2C SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADPD103 supports an I2C serial interface via the SDA
(data) and SCL (clock) pins. All internal registers are accessed
through the I2C interface.
The ADPD103 conforms to the UM10204 I2C-Bus Specification
and User Manual, Rev. 059 October 2012, available from NXP
Semiconductors. It supports a fast mode (400 kbps) data transfer.
Register read and write are supported, as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 2 shows the timing diagram for the I2C interface.
Slave Address
The default 7-bit I2C slave address for the device is 0x64,
followed by the R/W bit. For a write, the default I2C slave
address is 0xC8; for a read, the default I2C address is 0xC9. The
slave address is configurable by writing to Register 0x09, Bits[7:1].
When multiple ADPD103 devices are on the same bus lines, the
INT and PDSO pins can be used to select specific devices for
the address change. Register 0x0D can be used to select a key to
enable address changes in specific devices. Use the following
procedure to change the slave address when multiple ADPD103
devices are connected to the same I2C bus lines:
1. Using Register 0x4F, enable the input buffer of the PDSO pin,
the INT pin, or both, depending on the key being used.
2. For the device identified as requiring an address change,
set the INT and/or PDSO pins high or low to match the
key being used.
3. Write the SLAVE_ADDRESS_KEY using Register 0x0D,
Bits[15:0] to match the desired function. The allowed keys
are shown in Table 24.
4. Write the desired SLAVE_ADDRESS using Register 0x09,
Bits[7:1]. While writing to Register 0x09, Bits[7:1], write
0xAD to Register 0x09, Bit[15:8]. Register 0x09 must be
written to immediately after writing to Register 0x0D.
5. Repeat Step 1 to Step 4 for all the devices that need the
SLAVE_ADDRESS changed.
6. Set the INT and PDSO pins as desired for normal operation
using the new SLAVE_ADDRESS for each device.
I2C Write and Read Operations
Figure 19 illustrates the ADPD103 I2C write and read operations.
Single word and multiword read operations are supported. For a
single register read, the host sends a no acknowledge after the
second data byte is read and a new register address is needed for
each access.
For multiword operations, each pair of data bytes is followed by
an acknowledge from the host until the last byte of the last word is
read. The host indicates the last read word by sending a no
acknowledge. When reading from the FIFO (Register 0x60), the
data is automatically advanced to the next word in the FIFO
and the space is freed. When reading from other registers, the
register address is automatically advanced to the next register,
except at Register 0x5F or Register 0x7F, where the address does
not increment. This allows lower overhead reading of sequential

All register writes are single word only and require 16 bits (one
word) of data.
The software reset (Register 0x0F, Bit 0) is the only command
that does not return an acknowledge because the command is
instantaneous.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Figure 21 and Figure 22 show two possible photodiode input
connections for the ADPD103. The 1.8 V I2C communication
lines, SCL and SDA, along with the INT line, connect to a
system microprocessor or sensor hub. The I2C signals can have
pull-up resistors connected to a 1.8 V or a 3.3 V power supply.
The INT and PDSO signals are only compatible with a 1.8 V
supply and may need a level translator.
Provide the 1.8 V supply, VDD, to AVDD and DVDD. Use single
(VLED) or multiple (VLED1, VLED2, and VLED3) sources for the LED
supply using standard regulator circuits according to the peak
current requirements specified in Table 3 and calculated in the
Calculating Current Consumption section.
For best noise performance, connect AGND, DGND (exposed
pad), and LGND together at a large conductive surface such as a
ground plane, a ground pour, or a large ground trace.
The number of photodiodes or LEDs used varies. There are
multiple ways to connect photodiodes to the input channels,
as shown in Table 16 and Figure 23. The photodiode anodes are
connected to the PD1 to PD8 input pins, and the photodiode
cathodes are connected to the cathode pin.
With large photodiodes, the dynamic range can be increased by
splitting the current between multiple inputs. As a result, if only
one large photodiode is used and the receive signal is expected
to be large, the diode can be branched across all four inputs in a
given time slot. This type of configuration is shown in Figure 21.
For situations where the photodiode is small or the signal is greatly
attenuated, the photodiode can be connected directly to a single
channel such as PD1 or PD5. This connection, shown in Figure 22,
maximizes SNR for low signals. Do not connect the same
photodiode to all eight input channels. It is important to leave the
unused input channels floating for proper device operation. The
WLCSP package is internally wired for high dynamic range mode.
Figure 20 shows the recommended connection diagram and
printed circuit board (PCB) layout for the ADPD103 WLCSP
package. See Figure 21 or Figure 22 for connection details.
The current input pins (PD1 to PD8) have a typical voltage of
1.3 V during the sampling period. During the sleep period,
these pins are connected to the cathode pin. The cathode and
anode voltages are listed in Table 3.

LED DRIVER PINS AND LED SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The LEDx1, LEDx2, and LEDx3 pins have an absolute maximum
voltage rating of 3.6 V. Any voltage exposure over this rating affects
the reliability of the device operation and, in certain circumstances,
causes the device to cease proper operation. The voltage of the
LEDx pins must not be confused with the supply voltages for the
LED themselves (VLEDx). VLEDx is the voltage applied to the anode of
the external LED, whereas the LEDx pin is the input of the internal
current driver, and the pins are connected to the cathode of the
external LED.
LED DRIVER OPERATION
The LED driver for the ADPD103 is a current sink requiring
0.2 V of compliance above ground to maintain the programmed
current level. Figure 24 shows the basic schematic of how the
ADPD103 connects to an LED through the LED driver. The
Determining the Average Current and the Determining CVLED
sections define the requirements for the bypass capacitor
(CVLED) and the supply voltages of the LEDs (VLEDx).

DETERMINING THE AVERAGE CURRENT
The ADPD103 drives an LED in a series of short pulses. Figure 25
shows the typical ADPD103 configuration of a pulse burst
sequence.

12722-119
Figure 25. Typical LED Pulse Burst Sequence Configuration
In this example, the LED pulse width, tLED_PULSE, is 3 µs, and the LED
pulse period, tLED_PERIOD, is 19 µs. The LED being driven is a pair
of green LEDs driven to a 250 mA peak. The goal of CVLED is to
buffer the LED between individual pulses. In the worst case
scenario, where the pulse train shown in Figure 25 is a continuous
sequence of short pulses, the VLEDx supply must supply the
average current. Therefore, calculate ILED_AVERAGE as follows:
ILED_AVERAGE = (tLED_PULSE/tLED_PERIOD) × ILED_PEAK (1)
where:
IL E D _ AV ER A GE is the average current needed from the VLEDx supply
during the pulse period, and it is also the VLEDx supply current
rating.
ILED_PEAK is peak current setting of the LED.
For the numbers shown in Equation 1, ILED_AVERAGE = 3/19 ×
ILED_PEAK. For typical LED timing, the average VLEDx supply
current is 3/19 × 250 mA = 39.4 mA, indicating that the VLEDx
supply must support a dc current of 40 mA.
DETERMINING CVLED
To determine the CVLED capacitor value, determine the maximum
forward-biased voltage, VFB_LED_MAX, of the LED in operation.
The LED current, IFB_LED_MAX, converts to VFB_LED_MAX as shown in
Figure 26. In this example, 250 mA of current through two green
LEDs in parallel yields VFB_LED_MAX = 3.95 V. Any series resistance
in the LED path must also be included in this voltage. When
designing the LED path, keep in mind that small resistances can
add up to large voltage drops due to the LED peak current being
very large. In addition, these resistances can be unnecessary
constraints on the VLEDx supply.

To correctly size the CVLED capacitor, do not deplete it during the

VFB_LED_MAX is the maximum forward-biased voltage required on

ADPD103 Data Sheet
Rev. B | Page 24 of 52
The numerator of the CVLED equation sets up the total discharge
amount in coulombs from the bypass capacitor to satisfy a
single programmed LED pulse of the maximum current. The
denominator represents the difference between the lowest voltage
from the VLEDx supply and the LED required voltage. The LED
required voltage is the voltage of the anode of the LED such that
the 0.2 V compliance of the LED driver and the forward-biased
voltage of the LED operating at the maximum current is satisfied.
For a typical ADPD103 example, assume that the lowest value
for the VLEDx supply is 4.4 V, and that the peak current is 250 mA
for two 528 nm LEDs in parallel. The minimum value for CVLED
is then equal to 3 µF.
CVLED = (3 × 10−6 × 0.250)/(4.4 (3.95 + 0.2)) = 3 µF (3)
As shown in the Equation 3, as the minimum supply voltage drops
close to the maximum anode voltage, the demands on CVLED
become more stringent, forcing the capacitor value higher. It is
important to insert the correct values into these equations. For
example, using an average value for VLED_MIN instead of the
worst case value for VLED_MIN can cause a serious design deficiency,
resulting in a CVLED value that is too small and that causes
insufficient optical power in the application. Therefore, adding a
sufficient margin on CVLED is strongly recommended. Add
additional margin to CVLED to account for derating of the capacitor
value over voltage, bias, temperature and other factors over the life
of the component.
LED INDUCTANCE CONSIDERATIONS
The LED drivers (LEDXx) on the ADPD103 have configurable
slew rate settings (Register 0x22, Bits[6:4], Register 0x23, Bits[6:4],
and Register 0x24, Bits[6:4]). These slew rates are defined in
Table 3. Even at the lowest setting, careful consideration must be
taken in board design and layout. If a large series inductor, such as a
long PCB trace, is placed between the LED cathode and one of
the LEDXx pins, voltage spikes from the switched inductor can
cause violations of absolute maximum and minimum voltages
on the LEDXx pins during the slew portion of the LED pulse.
To verify that there are no voltage spikes on the LEDXx pins due
to parasitic inductance, use an oscilloscope on the LEDXx pins to
monitor the voltage during normal operation. Any positive spike
>3.6 V may damage the device.
In addition, a negative spike <−0.3 V may also damage the device.
RECOMMENDED START-UP SEQUENCE
At power-up, the device is in standby mode (Register 0x10 =
0x0), as shown in Figure 14. The ADPD103 does not require a
particular power-up sequence.
From standby mode, to begin measurement, initiate the
ADPD103 as follows:
1. Set the CLK32K_EN bit (Register 0x4B, Bit 7) to start the
sample clock (32 kHz clock). This clock controls the state
machine. If this clock is off, the state machine is not able to
transition as defined by Register 0x10.
2. Write 0x1 to Register 0x10 to force the device into program
mode. Step 1 and Step 2 can be swapped, but the actual
state transition does not occur until both steps occur.
3. Write additional control registers in any order while the
device is in program mode to configure the device as
required.
4. Write 0x2 to Register 0x10 to start normal sampling
operation.
To terminate normal operation, follow this sequence to place
the ADPD103 in standby mode:
1. Write 0x1 to Register 0x10 to force the device into program
mode.
2. Write to the registers in any order while the device is in
program mode.
3. Write 0x00FF to Register 0x00 to clear all interrupts. If
desired, clear the FIFO as well by setting the DIGITAL_
CLOCK_ENA bit (Register 0x5F, Bit 0) and writing 0x80FF
to Register 0x00.
4. Write 0x0 to Register 0x10 to force the device into standby
mode.
5. Optionally, stop the 32 kHz clock by resetting the CLK32K_
EN bit (Register 0x4B, Bit 7). Register 0x4B, Bit 7 = 0 is the
only write that must be written when the device is in standby
mode (Register 0x10 = 0x0). If 0 is written to this bit while in
program mode or normal mode, the device becomes
unable to transition into any other mode, including standby
mode, even if it is subsequently written to do so. As a result,
the power consumption in what appears to be standby mode
is greatly elevated. For this reason, and due to the very low
current draw of the 32 kHz clock while in operation, it is
recommended from an ease of use perspective to keep the
32 kHz clock running after it is turned on.
READING DATA
The ADPD103 provides multiple methods for accessing the sample
data. Each time slot can be independently configured to provide
data access using the FIFO or the data registers. Interrupt signaling
is also available to simplify timely data access. The FIFO is available
to loosen the system timing requirements for data accesses.
Reading Data Using the FIFO
The ADPD103 includes a 128-byte FIFO memory buffer that
can be configured to store data from either or both time slots.
Register 0x11 selects the kind of data from each time slot to be
Data Sheet ADPD103
Rev. B | Page 25 of 52
written to the FIFO. Note that both time slots can be enabled to
use the FIFO, but only if their output data rate is the same.
Output data rate = fSAMPLE/N
where:
fSAMPLE is the sampling frequency.
N is the averaging factor for each time slot (NA for Time Slot A
and NB for Time Slot B). In other words, NA = NB must be true
to store data from both time slots in the FIFO.
Data packets are written to the FIFO at the output data rate. A
data packet for the FIFO consists of a complete sample for each
enabled time slot. Data for each photodiode channel can be stored
as either 16 or 32 bits. Each time slot can store 2, 4, 8, or 16
bytes of data per sample, depending on the mode and data
format. To ensure that data packets are intact, new data is only
written to the FIFO if there is sufficient space for a complete
packet. Any new data that arrives when there is not enough
space is lost. The FIFO continues to store data when sufficient
space exists. Always read FIFO data in complete packets to
ensure that data packets remain intact.
The number of bytes currently stored in the FIFO is available in
Register 0x00, Bits[15:8]. A dedicated FIFO interrupt is also
available and automatically generates when a specified amount
of data is written to the FIFO.
Interrupt-Based Method
To read data from the FIFO using an interrupt-based method,
use the following procedure:
1. In program mode, set the configuration of the time slots as
desired for operation.
2. Write Register 0x11 with the desired data format for each
time slot.
3. Set FIFO_THRESH in Register 0x06, Bits[13:8] to the
interrupt threshold. A good value for this is the number of
16-bit words in a data packet, minus 1. This causes an
interrupt to generate when there is at least one complete
packet in the FIFO.
4. Enable the FIFO interrupt by writing a 0 to the FIFO_
INT_MASK in Register 0x01, Bit 8. Also, configure the
interrupt pin (INT) by writing the appropriate value to the
bits in Register 0x02.
5. Enter normal operation mode by setting Register 0x10 to
0x2.
6. When an interrupt occurs
a. There is no requirement to read the FIFO_SAMPLES
register, because the interrupt is generated only if there
is one or more full packets. Optionally, the interrupt
routine can check for the presence of more than one
available packet by reading this register.
b. Write 1 to the FIFO_ACCESS_ENA bit (Register 0x5F,
Bit 0) twice in two consecutive write operations.
c. Read a complete packet using one or more multiword
accesses using Register 0x60. Reading the FIFO
automatically frees the space for new samples.
d. Write 0 to the FIFO_ACCESS_ENA bit (Register 0x5F,
Bit 0).
The interrupt automatically clears when enough data is read
from the FIFO to bring the data level below the threshold.
Polling Method
To read data from the FIFO in a polling method, use the
following procedure:
1. In program mode, set the configuration of the time slots as
desired for operation.
2. Write Register 0x11 with the desired data format for each
time slot.
3. Enter normal operation mode by setting Register 0x10 to 2.
Next, begin the polling operations.
1. Wait for the polling interval to expire.
2. Read the FIFO_SAMPLES bits (Register 0x00, Bits[15:8]).
3.If FIFO_SAMPLES ≥ the packet size, read a packet using
the following steps:
a. Write 1 to the FIFO_ACCESS_ENA bit (Register 0x5F,
Bit 0) twice in two consecutive write operations.
b. Read a complete packet using one or more multiword
accesses using Register 0x60. Reading the FIFO
automatically frees the space for new samples.
c. Write 0 to the FIFO_ACCESS_ENA bit (Register 0x5F,
Bit 0).
d. Repeat Step 1.
When a mode change is required, or any other disruption to
normal sampling is necessary, the FIFO must be cleared. Use
the following procedure to clear the state and empty the FIFO:
1. Enter program mode by setting Register 0x10 to 0x1.
2. Write 1 to the FIFO_ACCESS_ENA bit (Register 0x5F,
Bit 0) twice in two consecutive write operations.
3. Write 1 to Register 0x00, Bit 15.
4. Write 0 to the FIFO_ACCESS_ENA bit (Register 0x5F, Bit 0).
Reading Data from Registers Using Interrupts
The latest sample data is always available in the data registers and is
updated simultaneously at the end of each time slot. The data value
for each photodiode channel is available as a 16-bit value in Regis-
ter 0x64 through Register 0x67 for Time Slot A, and Register 0x68
through Register 0x6B for Time Slot B. If allowed to reach their
maximum value, Register 0x64 through Register 0x6B clip. If
Register 0x64 through Register 0x6B saturate, the unsaturated (up
to 27 bits) values for each channel are available in Register 0x70
through Register 0x77 for Time Slot A and Register 0x78 through
Register 0x7F for Time Slot B. Sample interrupts are available to
ADPD103 Data Sheet
Rev. B | Page 26 of 52
indicate when the registers are updated and can be read. To use
the interrupt for a given time slot, use the following procedure:
1. Enable the sample interrupt by writing a 0 to the appropriate
bit in Register 0x01. To enable the interrupt for Time Slot A,
write 0 to Bit 5. To enable the interrupt for Time Slot B,
write 0 to Bit 6. Either or both interrupts can be set.
2. Configure the interrupt pin by writing the appropriate
value to the bits in Register 0x02.
3. An interrupt generates when the data registers are updated.
4. The interrupt handler must perform the following:
a. Read Register 0x00 and observe Bit 5 or Bit 6 to confirm
which interrupt has occurred. This step is not required if
only one interrupt is in use.
b. Read the data registers before the next sample can be
written. The system must have interrupt latency and
service time short enough to respond before the next
data update, based on the output data rate.
c. Write a 1 to Bit 5 or Bit 6 in Register 0x00 to clear the
interrupt.
If both time slots are in use, it is possible to use only the
Time Slot B interrupt to signal when all registers can be read. It
is recommended to use the multiword read to transfer the data
from the data registers.
Reading Data from Registers Without Interrupts
If the system interrupt response is not fast or predictable
enough to use the interrupt method, or if the interrupt pin is
not used, it is possible to get reliable data access by using the
data hold mechanism. To guarantee that the data read from the
registers is from the same sample time, it is necessary to prevent
the update of samples while reading the current values. The
method for doing register reads without interrupt timing is as
follows:
1. Write a 1 to SLOTA_DATA_HOLD or SLOTB_DATA_
HOLD (Register 0x5F, Bit 1 and Bit 2, respectively) for the
time slot requiring access (both time slots can be accessed).
This prevents sample updates.
2. Read the registers as desired.
3. Write a 0 to the SLOTA_DATA_HOLD or SLOTB_DATA_
HOLD bits (Register 0x5F, Bit 1 and Bit 2, respectively)
previously set. Sample updates are allowed again.
Because a new sample may arrive while the reads are occurring,
this method prevents the new sample from partially overwriting
the data being read.
CLOCKS AND TIMING CALIBRATION
The ADPD103 operates using two internal time bases: a 32 kHz
clock sets the sample timing, and a 32 MHz clock controls the
timing of the internal functions such as LED pulsing and data
capture. Both clocks are internally generated and exhibit device-
to-device variation of approximately 10% (typical).
Heart rate monitoring applications require an accurate time
base to achieve an accurate count of beats per minute. The
ADPD103 provides a simple calibration procedure for both clocks.
1. Calibrating the 32 kHz clock. This calibrates items
associated with the output data rate. Calibration of this
clock is important for applications where an accurate data
rate is important, such as heart rate measurements.
a. Set the sampling frequency to the highest the system
can handle, such as 2000 Hz. Because the 32 kHz clock
controls sample timing, its frequency is readily accessible
via the INT pin. Configure the interrupt by writing the
appropriate value to the bits in Register 0x02 and set the
interrupt to occur at the sampling frequency by writing 0
to Register 0x01, Bit 5 or Bit 6. Monitor the INT pin.
The interrupt frequency must match the set sample
frequency.
b. If the monitored interrupt frequency is less than the set
sampling frequency, increase the CLK32K_ADJUST bit
(Register 0x4B, Bits[5:0]). If the monitored interrupt
frequency is larger than the set sampling frequency,
decrease the CLK32K_ADJUST bits.
c. Repeat Step b until the monitored interrupt signal
frequency is close enough to the set sampling frequency.
2. Calibrate the 32 MHz clock. This calibrates items associated
with the fine timing within a sample period, such as LED
pulse width and spacing, assuming that the 32 kHz clock
has been calibrated.
a.Write 0x1 to Register 0x5F, Bit 0.
b. Enable the CLK_RATIO calculation by writing 0x1 to
Register 0x50, Bit 5. This function counts the number of
32 MHz clock cycles in two cycles of the 32 kHz clock.
With this function enabled, this cycle value is stored in
Register 0xA, Bits[11:0] and nominally this ratio is 2000
(0x7D0).
c. Calculate the 32 MHz clock error as follows:
Clock Error = 32 MHz × (1 − CLK_RATIO/2000)
d. Adjust the frequency by setting Bits[7:0] in Register
0x4D per the following equation:
CLK32M_ADJUST = Clock Error/109 kHz
e. Write 0x0 to Register 0x50, Bit 5 to reset the
CLK_RATIO function.
Repeat Step 2b through Step 2e until the desired accuracy is
achieved.
Write 0x0 to Register 0x5F, Bit 0. Also, set the INT pin back to
the mode desired for normal operation.

OPTIMIZING SNR PER WATT
The ADPD103 offers a variety of parameters that the user can
adjust to achieve the best signal. One of the key goals of system
performance is to obtain the best system SNR for the lowest
total power. This is often referred to as optimizing SNR/watt. Even
in systems where only the SNR matters and power is a secondary
concern, there may be a lower power or a high power means of
achieving the same SNR.
Optimizing for Peak SNR
The first step in optimizing for peak SNR is to find a TIA gain
and LED level that gives the best performance where the
number of LED pulses remains constant. If peak SNR is the
goal, the noise section of Table 3 can be used as a guide. It is
important to note that the SNR improves as a square root of the
number of pulses averaged together, whereas the increase in the
LED power consumed is directly proportional to the number of
LED pulses. In other words, for every doubling of the LED pulse
count, there is a doubling of the LED power consumed and a 3 dB
SNR improvement. As a result, avoid any change in the gain
configuration that provides less than 3 dB of improvement for a 2×
power penalty; any TIA gain configuration that provides more
than 3 dB of improvement for a 2× power penalty is a good
choice. If peak SNR is the goal and there is no issue saturating
the photodiode with LED current at any gain, the 50k TIA gain
setting is an optimal choice. After the SNR per pulse per
channel is optimized, the user can then increase the number of
pulses to achieve the desired system SNR.
Optimizing SNR per Watt in a Signal Limited System
In practice, optimizing for peak SNR is not always practical.
One scenario in which the photoplethysmography (PPG) signal
has a poor SNR is the signal limited regime. In this scenario, the
LED current reaches an upper limit before the desired dc return
level is achieved.
Tuning in this case starts where the peak SNR tuning stops. The
starting point is nominally a 50k gain, as long as the lowest LED
current setting of 8 mA does not saturate the photodiode and
the 50k gain provides enough protection against intense back-
ground light. In these cases, use a 25k gain as the starting point.
The goal of the tuning process is to bring the dc return signal to
a specific ADC range, such as 50% or 60%. The ADC range
ADPD103 Data Sheet
Rev. B | Page 28 of 52
choice is a function of the margin of headroom needed to
prevent saturation as the dc level fluctuates over time. The SNR
of the PPG waveform is always some percentage of the dc level.
If the target level cannot be achieved at the base gain, increase
the gain and repeat the procedure. The tuning system may need
to place an upper limit on the gain to prevent saturation from
ambient signals.
Tuning the Pulse Count
After the LED peak current and TIA gain are optimized,
increasing the number of pulses per sample increases the SNR
by the square root of the number of pulses. There are two ways to
increase the pulse count. The pulse count registers (Register 0x31,
Bits[15:8], and Register 0x36, Bits[15:8]) change the number of
pulses per internal sample. Register 0x15, Bits[6:4] and Bits[10:8],
controls the number of internal samples that are averaged together
before the data is sent to the output. Therefore, the number of
pulses per sample is the pulse count register multiplied by the
number of subsequent samples being averaged. In general, the
internal sampling rate increases as the number of internal
sample averages increase to maintain the desired output data
rate. The SNR/watt is most optimal with pulse count values of
16 or less. Above pulse count values of 16, the square root
relationship does not hold in the pulse count register. However,
this relationship continues to hold when averaged between
samples using Register 0x15.
Note that increasing LED peak current increases SNR almost
directly proportional to LED power, whereas increasing the
number of pulses by a factor of n results in only a nominal√(n)
increase in SNR.
When using the sample sum/average function (Register 0x15),
the output data rate decreases by the number of summed
samples. To maintain a static output data rate, increase the
sample frequency (Register 0x12) by the same factor as that
selected in Register 0x15. For example, for a 100 Hz output data
rate and a sample sum/average of four samples, set the sample
frequency to 400 Hz.
SINGLE AFE CHANNEL MODE
When using a single photodiode in an application, and that
photodiode is connected to a single AFE channel (see Table 16),
the ADPD103 has an option to power down Channel 2, Channel 3,
and Channel 4, which places the device in single AFE channel
mode. Because three of the four AFE channels are turned off in this
mode, the power consumption is considerably reduced.
It is important to leave the unused input channels floating for
proper device operation. To run the device in single AFE channel
mode, write 0x38 to Register 0x3C, Bits[8:3]. If it is not required
to run the device in single AFE channel mode, leave Register 0x3C,
Bits[8:3] at 0x00.
TIA_ADC MODE
There is a way to put the device into a mode that effectively runs
the TIA directly in the ADC without using the analog band-pass
filter and integrator. This mode is referred to as TIA_ADC mode.
There are two basic applications of TIA_ADC mode. In normal
operation, all of the background light is blocked from the signal
chain, and therefore cannot be measured. TIA_ADC mode can be
used to measure the amount of background/ambient light. This
mode can also be used to measure other dc input currents, such as
leakage resistance.
When the device is in TIA_ADC mode, the band-pass filter and
the integrator stage are bypassed. This effectively wires the TIA
directly into the ADC. At the set sampling frequency, the ADC
samples Channel 1 through Channel 4 (or Channel 5 through
Channel 8) in sequential order, and each sample is taken at 1 µs
intervals. The TIA is in an inverting configuration; therefore, the
signal drops as more light hits the photodiode. Zero light or dark
conditions result in approximately 13,000 LSBs from the ADC.
To put the ADPD103 in TIA_ADC mode during Time Slot A,
write 0xB065 to Register 0x43 to bypass the band-pass filter and
integrator. Similarly, to place the ADPD103 in TIA_ADC mode
during Time Slot B, write 0xB065 to Register 0x45. One way to
monitor dc and pulsed signal at the same time is to operate
TIA_ADC mode in one time slot and pulse mode in the other
time slot. In TIA_ADC mode, increasing light level causes a
decrease in ADC codes because the TIA stage is inverting.
Protecting Against TIA Saturation in Normal Operation
One of the reasons to monitor TIA_ADC mode is to protect
against environments that may cause saturation. One concern
when operating in high light conditions, especially with larger
photodiodes, is that the TIA stage may become saturated and
the ADPD103 continues to communicate data. The resulting
saturation is not typical. The TIA, based on its settings, can only
handle a certain level of photodiode current. Based on the way
the ADPD103 is configured, if there is a current level from the
photodiode that is larger than the TIA can handle, the TIA output
during the LED pulse effectively extends the current pulse,
making it wider. The AFE timing is then violated because the
positive portion of the band-pass filter output extends into the
negative section of the integration window. Thus, the photosignal
is subtracted from itself, causing the output signal to decrease
when the effective light signal increases.
To measure the response from the TIA and verify that this stage
is not saturating, place the device in TIA_ADC mode and slightly
modify the timing. Specifically, sweep SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET
until two or three of the four channels reach a minimum value
(note that TIA is in an inverting configuration). All four
channels do not reach this minimum value because, typically, 3 µs
LED pulse widths are used and the ADC samples the four channels
sequentially at 1 µs intervals. This procedure aligns the ADC
Data Sheet ADPD103
Rev. B | Page 29 of 52
sampling time with the LED pulse to measure the total amount of
light falling on the photodetector (for example, background light +
LED pulse).
If this minimum value is above 0 LSB, the TIA is not saturated.
However, take care, because even if the result is not 0 LSB,
operating the device near saturation can quickly result in
saturation if light conditions change. A safe operating region is
typically at ¾ full scale and lower. Use Table 17 to determine
how the input codes map to ADC levels on a per channel per
pulse basis. These codes are not the same as in normal mode
because the band-pass filter and integrator are not unity-gain
elements.
Coarse Ambient Light Measurement
Using the typical values in Table 17, TIA_ADC mode can be used
to measure or quantify the amount of background or ambient light
present on the photodetector. The settings are the same in the
method described in the Protecting Against TIA Saturation in
Normal Operation section, except the timing used in the
normal operating mode is sufficient for this mode. There is no
need to sweep AFE_OFFSET. If AFE_OFFSET is in the same place
as the normal mode operation, the TIA_ADC mode does not
return the same value, regardless of whether the LED is on or off.
In TIA_MODE, the dark level is a high level near 13,000 LSBs
per channel per pulse (see Table 17). To measure this value,
select no PD by writing a 0x0 to Register 0x14, Bits[11:8] for
Time Slot B or Register 0x14, Bits[7:4] for Time Slot A. This
setting internally opens the photodiode connection. This gives a
baseline LSB value that coincides with a zero signal input.
After Register 0x14 is restored to its normal value, while
connecting the photodiode to the TIA, this TIA_ADC result
can be subtracted from the open photodiode case to yield a
background light measurement. Use Table 17 to translate this
measurement into an input photocurrent. Use this result for
coarse absolute measurements only, because it is typically only
accurate to within 10%.
Measuring PCB Parasitic Input Resistance
During the process of mounting the ADPD103, undesired
resistance can develop on the inputs through assembly errors or
debris on the PCB. These resistances can form between the
anode and cathode, or between the anode and some other
supply or ground. In normal operation, the ambient rejection
feature of the ADPD103 masks the primary effects of these
resistances, making it very difficult to detect them. However,
even at 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ, such resistance can impact performance
significantly through added noise or decreased dynamic range.
TIA_ADC mode can be used to screen for these assembly issues.
Measuring Shunt Resistance on the Photodiode
A shunt resistor across the photodiode does not generally affect
the output level of the device in operation because the effective
impedance of the TIA is very low. This is especially true if the
photodiode is held to 0 V in operation. However, such resistance
can add noise to the system, degrading performance. The best
way to detect photodiode leakage, also called photodiode shunt
resistance, is to place the device in TIA_ADC mode in the dark
and vary the operation mode cathode voltage. When the cathode is
at 1.3 V, this places 0 V across the photodiode because the anode is
always at 1.3 V while in operation. When the cathode is at 1.8 V,
this places 0.5 V across the photodiode. Using the register settings
in Table 3 to control the cathode voltage, measure the TIA_ADC
value at both voltages. Next, divide the voltage difference of 0.5 V
by the difference of the ADC result after converting it to a current.
This result is the approximate shunt resistance. Values greater
than 10 MΩ may be difficult to measure, but this method is useful
in identifying gross failures.

Measuring TIA Input Shunt Resistance
Another problem that can occur is for a resistance to develop
between the TIA input and another supply or ground on the
PCB. These resistances can force the TIA into saturation
prematurely. This, in turn, takes away dynamic range from the
device in operation and adds a Johnson noise component to the
input. To measure these resistances, place the device in TIA_ADC
mode in the dark and start by measuring the TIA_ADC offset level
with the photodiode inputs disconnected (Register 0x14,
Bits[11:8] = 0 or Register 0x14, Bits[7:4] = 0). From this,
subtract the value of TIA_ADC mode with the darkened
photodiode connected and convert the difference into a current.
If the value is positive, and the ADC signal decreased, the
resistance is to a voltage higher than 1.3 V, such as VDD. Current
entering the TIA causes the output to drop. If the output
difference is negative due to an increase of codes at the ADC,
current is being pulled out of the TIA and there is a shunt
resistance to a lower potential than 1.3 V, such as ground.
DIGITAL INTEGRATE MODE
Digital integrate mode is built into the ADPD103 and allows the
device to accommodate longer LED/AFE pulse widths and
different types of sensors at the input. The analog integration
mode described in the AFE Operation section is ideally suited
for applications requiring a large LED duty cycle, or applications
that require customization of the sampling scheme. Digital
integrate mode allows the integration function to be performed
after the ADC in the digital domain. This mode enables the
device to handle a much wider range of sensors at the input.
In digital integrate mode, the ADC performs a conversion every
1 µs during the integration window. During the integration
window, the digital engine either adds to or subtracts from the
previous sample. The band-pass filter is bypassed and the
integrator is converted to a voltage buffer, allowing the digital
engine to perform the integration function. In this mode, after
the timing is optimized, the output of the ADC increases as the
light level on the photodiode increases.
The integration window is a combination of negative and positive
windows where the duration of these windows is set by SLOTx_
AFE_WIDTH. At the end of the digital integration window, the
resulting sum is sent to the decimate unit as the sample for that
LED pulse. There is one sample per time slot for every sample
cycle. Table 18 lists the registers required for placing the device
in digital integrate mode.
There may also be changes needed in the SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET
registers and FIFO configuration register (0x11). To read the
final value through the FIFO, set the appropriate values in Regis-
ter 0x11, Bits[4:2] for Time Slot A, and Register 0x11, Bits[8:6]
for Time Slot B. Alternatively, the final output is also available
through the data registers; Register 0x64, Register 0x70, and
Register 0x74 for Time Slot A, and Register 0x68, Register 0x78,
and Register 0x7C for Time Slot B.
To put the ADPD103 into digital integration mode during Time
Slot A, write 0x1 to Register 0x58, Bit 12. To put the ADPD103
into digital integration mode in Time Slot B, write 0x1 to
Register 0x58, Bit 13. The other writes required to switch to
digital integration mode are listed in Table 18.
When using digital integrate mode, up to two photodiodes can
be connected to the ADPD103 inputs; one photodiode per PDx
input group (PD1/PD2/PD3/PD4 or PD5/PD6/PD7/PD8).
Never connect the same photodiode across the two PDx groups.
In digital integrate mode, there are options to connect the
photodiode to all four AFE channels (PD1/PD2/PD3/PD4 or
PD5/PD6/PD7/PD8), or just a single AFE channel (PD1 or
PD5). When connecting to a single AFE channel, write 0x1 to
Register 0x54, Bit 14 for Time Slot A, or, for Time Slot B, write
0x1 to Register 0x54, Bit 15.
When connecting to a single AFE channel, there is also an
option to turn off Channel 2, Channel 3, and Channel 4 (and to
save power) by writing 0x7 to Register 0x55, Bits[15:13]. When
connecting to all four channels (PD1/PD2/PD3/PD4 or
PD5/PD6/PD7/PD8), write 0x0 (default)to Register 0x54, Bit 14
for Time Slot A, or write 0x0 (default) to Register 0x54, Bit 15
for Time Slot B. Ensure that all AFE channels are powered up by
writing 0x0 to Register 0x55, Bits[15:13].
Connecting the single photodiode to a single AFE channel offers
the best SNR performance in cases where signal is limited, whereas
connecting the single photodiode to all four AFE channels offers
the best dynamic range in cases where signal is large.
Digital Integration Sampling Modes
There are two sampling modes that can be used while the
device is in digital integration mode. These modes are single-
sample pair mode and double-sample pair mode.
In single-sample pair mode, there is a single negative sample
region and a single positive sample region, shown in Figure 29
and Figure 30. To use single-sample pair mode, write 0x1 to
Register 5A, Bit 5 for Time Slot A, or Register 5A, Bit 6 for
Time Slot B. The negative sample region starts at SLOTx_AFE_
OFFSET + 9 and its duration (the number of samples taken) is set
by SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH. The positive sample region starts at
SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET + 9 + SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH, and its
duration is also set by SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH. Set the timing
such that the negative sample region falls entirely in the flat
(dark) portion of the LED response, whereas the positive
sample region falls in the pulsed region of the LED response.
Placing the LED pulse offset, SLOTx_LED_OFFSET, at the
beginning of SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET + 9 + SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH
achieves this timing. The output is the difference of the signals
in the two regions.
Data Sheet ADPD103
Rev. B | Page 31 of 52
Double-sample pair mode is another way to sample. In this
mode, there are two negative sample regions and one long
positive sample region (see Figure 27 and Figure 28). To use
double-sample pair mode, write 0x0 to Register 0x5A, Bit 5 for
Time Slot A, or Bit 6 for Time Slot B. The first negative sample
region starts at SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET + 9 and its duration is set
by SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH. The positive sample region starts at
SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET + 9+ SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH and its
duration is twice the SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH. After this, there is
another negative sample region that starts at SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET
+ 9+ 3 × SLOTx_AFE_WIDTH, and its duration is SLOTx_AFE_
WIDTH. Set the timing such that both of the negative sample
regions fall in the flat (dark) portion of the LED response and
the positive sample region falls in the pulsed portion of the LED
response. Placing the LED pulse offset, SLOTx_LED_OFFSET
at the beginning of SLOTx_AFE_OFFSET + 9 + SLOTx_AFE_
WIDTH achieves this timing. The output is calculated by
summing the response of all the regions in a negative/positive/
negative manner. The double-sample pair mode is useful for cases
when the background light is not constant because it has better
background rejection, but it also uses more power than single-
sample pair mode.
Sample Timing Modes
There are two options for timing the sample regions: gapped
mode and continuous mode.
In gapped timing mode, there is a space between the negative and
positive sample regions. The width of this region is specified by
SLOTA_AFE_FOFFSET for Time Slot A and SLOTB_AFE_
FOFFSET for Time Slot B in microseconds. To enable this
feature, write 0x1 to Register 0x5A, Bit 7. This bit enables
gapped timing for the time slot (or time slots) that are in digital
integrate mode. This mode is helpful when there are unwanted
transients in the LED response that must be ignored for an
accurate output.
If there are no concerns about LED response transients, select
continuous timing mode. In this mode, there is no space
between the negative and positive sample regions. Write 0x0 to
Register 0x5A, Bit 7 for continuous timing of the sample regions.
Both gapped and continuous sample timing modes can be used
with single-sample pair or double-sample pair mode. Some
example timing diagrams are shown in Figure 27, Figure 28,
Figure 29, and Figure 30.
Background Values
In digital integrate mode, the digital integration background
value, DI_BACKGROUND, or dark values are also stored and
available as output data. This is in addition to the output value
during the LED pulse, DI_OUTPUT, which has the dark value
subtracted. DI_BACKGROUND is the sum of the negative
region samples.
To include these values in the FIFO, set Register 0x11, Bits[4:2]
for Time Slot A, and Register 0x11, Bits[8:6] for Time Slot B. For
16-bit data, set this value to 0x3; for 32-bit data, set this value to
0x04. These settings are also available through the data registers;
Register 0x65, Register 0x71, and Register 0x75 for Time Slot A,
and Register 0x69, Register 0x79, and Register 0x7D for Time
Slot B. It is recommended that the channel offsets (Register 0x18 to
Register 0x21) be set to 0x1F00 when including the background
values in the FIFO in digital integration mode. These channel
offsets do not affect the sample values, but do provide more
headroom for the background values.
Saturation Detection in Digital Integrate Mode
In normal operation, when using the band-pass filter and the
integrator, the ADC almost always saturates before the TIA.
Unlike in normal operation, saturation of the TIA or the ADC
cannot be detected solely by looking at the signal value where
the signal value is the positive sample region minus the
reference region in digital integrate mode. This is because the
integrated value does not by itself contain any information
indicating if one of the ADC conversions during the integration
period exceeded the ADC output range. As a result, the real-
time output may have saturated only for a fraction of the ADC
conversions within a sample and the final accumulated sum may
not reflect this. To detect TIA saturation in digital integration
mode, both the background values, DI_BACKGROUND, and
the signal values, DI_OUTPUT, must be collected. Refer to the
Background Values section for the correct settings for
Register 0x11 that provide these values.
For single-sample pair mode, saturation has occurred when
(DI_OUTPUT/(min(LED_WIDTH, AFE_WIDTH)) +
DI_BACKGROUND/AFE_WIDTH)/NUM_PULSES >
0x3FFF
For double-sample pair mode, saturation has occurred when
(DI_OUTPUT/(min(LED_WIDTH, 2 × AFE_WIDTH)) +
DI_BACKGROUND/(2 × AFE_WIDTH))/NUM_PULSES
> 0x3FFF

guaranteeing a contiguous set of data from all four photodiode channels.
1: hold data registers for Time Slot A.
0: allow data register update.
0 0x0 R/W FIFO_ACCESS_ENA Set to 1 twice to enable FIFO access. It is necessary to write 1 to the
FIFO_ACCESS_ENA bit in two consecutive write operations in order to
read data from the FIFO. During clock calibration, set to 1 to force the
32 MHz clock to run. For power savings, reset to 0 when the previously
described operations are complete.
1 Clock speed setting is only relevant during digital integrate mode.
