ams TCS3530 True Color Sensor with Flicker Detection

Description

TCS3530 is an ultra-sensitive color sensor that matches the response of the human eye to visible light. The sensor’s highly accurate measurements of chromaticity and illuminance support superior automatic white balancing in cameras, as well as sophisticated display color management. Fully integrated optical assembly with built-in diffuser backed by end-of-line calibration simplifies manufacturers’ production processes and optical designs.

Details

Features

  • XYZ true color channels + IR channel + 2 Hg channels
  • Ultra-high ALS and color sensitivity
  • Flicker detection up to 7kHz (14kS raw data)
  • Integrated diffuser in package
  • 0.18µ process technology with 1.8V/1.2V I²C and I³C
