TCS3408 Datasheet | ams

General Description ALS/Color Sensor with Selective Flicker Detection The TCS3408 Features ambient light and color (RGB) sensing, as well as flicker detection which suppresses cross-coupling from 940nm IR, if generated by adjacent circuits (e.g. TOF). The device es in a low-profile and small footprint, L2.5mm x W2.0mm x H0.5mm package. The Ambient Light and Color Sensing function provides five concurrent ambient light sensing channels: Red, Green, Blue, Clear, and Wideband. The RGB and Clear channels have a UV/IR blocking filter. This architecture accurately measures ambient light and enables the calculation of illuminance, chromaticity, and color temperature to manage display appearance. The device integrates direct detection of 50Hz or 60Hz ambient light flicker. Flicker detection is executed in parallel with ambient light and color sensing and has independent gain configuration. The flicker detection engine can also buffer data for calculating other flicker frequencies externally. Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of datasheet.
