NOTES: 1. The percentage shown represents the ratio of the respective red, green, or blue channel value to the clear channel value.
2. Optical measurements are made using small-angle incident radiation from a light-emitting diode (LED) optical source.
3. The 470 nm input irradiance is supplied by an InGaN light-emitting diode with the following characteristics:
peak wavelength λp = 470 nm, spectral halfwidth Δλ½ = 35 nm, and luminous efficacy = 75 lm/W.
4. The 524 nm input irradiance is supplied by an InGaN light-emitting diode with the following characteristics:
peak wavelength λp = 524 nm, spectral halfwidth Δλ½ = 47 nm, and luminous efficacy = 520 lm/W.
5. The 640 nm input irradiance is supplied by a AlInGaP light-emitting diode with the following characteristics:
peak wavelength λp = 640 nm, spectral halfwidth Δλ½ = 17 nm, and luminous efficacy = 155 lm/W.
6. Illuminance responsivity Rv is calculated from the irradiance responsivity Re by using the LED luminous efficacy values stated in
notes 3, 4, and 5 and using 1 lx = 1 lm/m2.

NOTES: 1. At shorter integration times and/or higher Prescale settings, the device will reach saturation of the analog section before the digital
count reaches the maximum 16-bit value. The worst-case (lowest) analog saturation value can be obtained using the formula: Analog
saturation = (fosc(min) ×Tint) ÷Prescale, where Fosc(min) is the minimum oscillator frequency in Hz, and tint is the actual integration
time (internal, manually-timed, or sync-generated) in seconds.
2. Gain is controlled by the gain register (07h) described in the Register section.
3. Measurements taken when the Photodiode field value in the Photodiode Register (06h) is 00b and when the Prescaler field value
in the Gain Register (07h) is 000b.
4. The full scale ADC count value is slew-rate limited for short integration times and is limited by the 16-bit counter for long integration
times. The nominal transition between the two regions is tint = 65535/5000 = 13.1 ms.
