Principles of Operation
Analog–to–Digital Converter
The APDS-9300 contains two integrating analog–to–digi-
tal converters (ADC) that integrate the currents from the
channel 0 and channel 1 photodiodes. Integration of both
channels occurs simultaneously, and upon completion of
the conversion cycle the conversion result is transferred to
the channel 0 and channel 1 data registers, respectively.
The transfers are double buered to ensure that invalid
data is not read during the transfer. After the transfer, the
device automatically begins the next integration cycle.
Digital Interface
Interface and control of the APDS-9300 is accomplished
through a two–wire serial interface to a set of registers
that provide access to device control functions and out-
put data. The serial interface is compatible to I
2
C bus Fast–
Mode. The APDS-9300 oers three slave addresses that
are selectable via an external pin (ADDR SEL). The slave
address options are shown in Table 1.

NOTE:
The Slave Addresses are 7 bits and please note the I
2
C protocols. A read/
write bit should be appended to the slave address by the master device
to properly communicate with the APDS-9300 device.
