TCS35303-2M

TCS35303-2M is a fully embedded, true colour ambient light sensor with selective flicker detection. It features true colour XYZ ambient light detection, as well as flicker detection up to 7KHz. The device comes in a small footprint 8-pin optical module with a dimension of L2.50mm x W1.80mm x H1.50mm. The optical module is fully embedded offering an integrated aperture and integrated diffuser. This unparalleled scale of integration, containing the photodiodes, aperture and diffuser, as well as precise distances between this key optical elements, allows accurate pre-calibration in final optical device test. The ambient light detection function provides eight concurrent ambient light sensing channels with independent gain configuration. TCS3530 integrates multiple applications within one device. The applications for TCS3530 include CCT and chromaticity calculation, auxiliary auto white balancing, light type identification, flicker-immune camera operation.
