The TC500A has no agenda of its own so it can be used to generate slow, high resolution conversions or fast, low resolution conversions. The trade-off for accuracy is about 1000 counts per millisecond of integration time, i.e., 16-bits with TINT approximately equal to 60mS. Typically, the total conversion time is about 4 times the integration time but, with the TC500A, this is quite flexible.
