General Description
TCS3701
ALS/Color and Proximity Sensor for Use Behind OLED Displays
The TCS3701 features ambient light and color (RGB) sensing in parallel with proximity detection. The device comes 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 Proximity function synchronizes IR emission and detection to sense nearby objects. The internal IR LED driver needs to be connected to an external emitter.
