Bits 4:2: SpO
2
Sample Rate Control
These bits define the effective sampling rate with one sample consisting of one IR pulse/conversion and one Red pulse/
conversion.
The sample rate and pulse width are related in that the sample rate sets an upper bound on the pulse width time. If the user
selects a sample rate that is too high for the selected LED_PW setting, the highest possible sample rate is programmed
instead into the register.
Bits 1:0: LED Pulse Width Control and ADC Resolution
These bits set the LED pulse width (the IR and Red have the same pulse width), and therefore, indirectly sets the integration
time of the ADC in each sample. The ADC resolution is directly related to the integration time.
