Datasheet Summary
TCS3200, TCS3210
Programmable Color Light-to-Frequency Converter
General Description
The TCS3200 and TCS3210 programmable color light-to-frequency converters that bine configurable silicon photodiodes and a current-to-frequency converter on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The output is a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance).
The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by one of three preset values via two control input pins. Digital inputs and digital output allow direct interface to a microcontroller or other logic circuitry. Output enable (OE) places the output in the high-impedance state for multiple-unit...
