PRODUCTION DATA.
For 30 sps operation, 128 sub-frames can be averaged to improve the noise performance by setting NUM_SUB_FRAMES = 127 and NUM_AVG_SUB_FRAMES = 127. AFE noise with a 6-pF photodiode capacitance and 100-µA ambient current support can be extracted from Figure 2 as 2.25 pA/√Hz. Total noise at 31.25 sps operation with the above settings is 12.6 pA. The minimum SNR required to meet the distance accuracy of 2%, (10 cm at 5 m) can be calculated using Equation 6 as 23.8. So the minimum signal current required is 12.6 pA × 23.8 = 300 pA. The photodiode current required to get a signal current of 300pA can be calculated from Equation 11 as 720 pA. With a diode responsivity of 0.5 A/W, the optical power required is 720 pA / (0.5 A/W) = 1.44 nW. Illumination power required with an 18% reflective target can be calculated from Equation 12 as 64 mW. The SFH4550 produces 70 mW of optical power for a current of 100 mA. From this, the required illumination current can be calculated as 91.5 mA

Choose 100 mA as the illumination current for meeting the SNR requirement for the 18% reflective target at a 5-m distance. With this illumination current, a 90% reflective object gives a signal current of 1.5 nA for an object at 5 m, and the AFE saturates for an object at a distance of 5 m / √(200 nA / 1.5nA) = 0.43 m. Because the required minimum distance is lower than this, on-chip adaptive HDR should be used by setting ENABLE_ADAPTIVE_HDR = 1, ILLUM_DAC_L_TX0 = 2 and ILLUM_DAC_H_TX0 = 20. HDR switching thresholds can be set at HDR_THR_HIGH = 27 000 and HDR_THR_LOW = 27 000 / 10 / 1.2 = 2250.
