TCS3530 Datasheet | ams

Description Fully Embedded, True Color Ambient Light Sensor with Selective Flicker Detection The TCS3530 features true color XYZ ambient light detection, as well as flicker detection up to 7k Hz. The device es in a small footprint 8-pin optical module with a dimension of L2.50mm x W1.80mm x H1.50mm. The optical module is fully embedded offering an integrated aperture and integrated diffuser. This unparalleled scale of integration, containing the photodiodes, aperture and diffuser, as well as precise distances between these key optical elements, allows accurate pre-calibration in final optical device test. The ambient light detection function provides eight concurrent ambient light sensing channels with independent gain configuration. These channels can be arbitrarily connected to the 27 photodiodes. A built-in sequencer enables automated measurements without the need to reprogram the device after every measurement cycle. All photodiodes are covered with an UV/IR blocking filter. This architecture accurately measures ambient light and calculates illuminance, chromaticity, and correlated color temperature (CCT) to manage display appearance. The device also integrates direct detection of ambient light flicker up to 7k Hz. This extended sampling range enables flicker detection from either conventional mains powered 50Hz/60Hz AC light sources as well as modern PDM controlled LED lighting systems. Flicker detection is executed in parallel with ambient light sensing and has independent gain configuration. The flicker detection engine will sample and buffer data for calculating flicker frequencies externally on a host CPU. Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of datasheet.
