The ams interferometric filters can be built with the spectral characteristics of the XYZ spectral responsivity model of the human eye. In the TCS3430, the filters provide five channels: X, Y and Z channels and two infrared channels. The IR channels are used for improved light source detection. The Y channel\u2019s response to the green portion of the visible light spectrum provides a measure of illuminance, enabling the TCS3430 to operate as an ambient light sensor as well as a color sensor.<\/p>\n<p>The TCS3430 is equipped as a packaged IC measuring 2.41mm x 1.75mm x 1.00mm. The opening of the sensor needs to be covered by an achromatic diffuser. The TCS3430\u2019s high sensitivity and wide dynamic range mean that it can be mounted behind dark or transparent cover glass. It operates from a 1.8V supply and provides an I<sup>2<\/sup>C interface to a host processor.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe TCS3430 is the smallest available True Color sensor. It enables consumer products to drastically improve and manage their color and brightness performance, much more precise to the ambient light conditions and to the True Color of images\u201d<\/em>, said Kevin Jensen, Senior Marketing Manager for Color Sensors at ams.<em> \u201cConsumers are becoming more and more aware of the concept of color. Recent surveys confirm that consumers find it challenging to match items from their home to store or online products. The precise white point balancing of images does not only improve the quality of images for designers and professionals but also assists general consumers to make decisions and reduce overall product returns\u201d<\/em>, he added.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ams.com\">http:\/\/ams.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miniature TCS3430 sensor IC uses improved optical filter technology to produce illuminance and CCT measurements that closely match the response of the human eye ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":26740,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[528,592,216,96],"class_list":["post-26739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sensor-camera","tag-optical-sensor","tag-optics","tag-sensor","tag-vision"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
