SENSORS

LIGHT & OPTICALColor SensorsAvailable in Every Output: Digital, Frequency, and VoltageWhen TAOS, who was acquired by ams in 2011, first introduced the TCS3414 digitalcolor sensor, it was the smallest digital color sensor in a chipscale package; ams hasbeen a leader in color sensing ever since and is your best partner for providing opticalsensors for color discrimination, determination, and measurement.Product OverviewExcellent Accurate Reading for light variations with fouranalog to digital converters that simultaneously read the red,green, blue & clear channels.Greater Accuracy with digital sync pin to PWM signal, suchas in LED solid state lighting, enabling color reading to beperfectly synchronized with the illumination of the LEDs.Cost Savings with built-in IR filter to accurately measurevisible light for color measurement; the IR filter is absolutelynecessary to subtract outdoor sunlight and artificial lightsources.Features & Benefits for the TCS3414Programmable interrupt function with user-defined upper and lower threshold settingApplicationsCOLOR DETERMINATION –A production line color sensing solution determines whethera product’s painted finish meets specification.COLOR DISCRIMINATION – To control the automatedsorting of products, such as by bottle cap color.COLOR MEASUREMENT – A TV or display uses a colorsensor to determine the color components of the roomlighting (or color temperature) to adjust the display’scolor balance to one that’s appropriate for the lightingenvironment.In-package trim provides an easy and accurate means to achieve system-to-system repeatability16-bit digital output with 12C at 400kHzProgrammable analog gain and integration time supporting 1,000,000 to -1 dynamic rangeLIGHT & OPTICALPartNumberTypeOperatingVoltageSensorArraySizeIR FilterAlt.
