OPT3001 - Average current for a single shot measurement

Shannon Pahl

What is the approximate average current to do one single shot 800ms measurement ? (I assume then, that continuous readings is just related to that number).

Thanks

I don't have the data handy but I can say that our average current for a full scale lux reading is posted in the data sheet as 3.7uA, and then it goes into shutdown mode for 0.4uA. How sensitive is your application to power consumption?

the top of the data sheet is unclear about active current but I see a chart further down the datasheet that seems to indicate what you are saying, thanks.
