TCS3400 Datasheet, PDF (1/35 Pages) ams AG – Single Device Integrated Optical Solution

TCS3400
Color Light-to-Digital Converter
General Description
The TCS3400 device provides color and IR (red, green, blue, clear
and IR) light sensing. The color sensing provides for improved
accuracy lux and color temperature measurements typically
used to adjust the backlight intensity and correct the display
color gamut. Additionally it can be used for light source type
detection as it reports the IR content of the light.
Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of
datasheet.
