TCS3430
TCS3430 is Color and ALS Sensor manufactured by ams.
Color and ALS Sensor
General Description
The device Features advanced digital Ambient Light Sensing (ALS) and CIE 1931 Tristimulus Color Sensing (XYZ). Each of the channels has a filter to control its optical response, which allows the device to accurately measure ambient light and sense color. These measurements are used to calculate chromaticity, illuminance and color temperature, all of which are used to support various potential applications.
