TCS3472 Overview
Description
The TCS3472 device provides a digital return of red, green, blue (RGB), and clear light sensing values. An IR blocking filter, integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately.
Key Features
- Enables accurate color and light sensing measurements under varying lighting conditions by minimizing IR and UV spectral component effects
- Red, Green, Blue (RGB), and Clear Light
- Sensing with IR blocking filter
- Programmable analog gain and integration time
- 3,800,000:1 dynamic range
- Very high sensitivity
- ideally suited for operation behind dark glass
- Programmable interrupt pin enables level-style interrupts when pre-set values are exceeded, thus reducing companion micro-processo
