General Description
TCS3408
ALS/Color Sensor with Selective Flicker Detection
The TCS3408 features ambient light and color (RGB) sensing, as well as flicker detection which suppresses cross-coupling from 940nm IR, if generated by adjacent circuits (e.g. TOF). 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 device integrates direct detection of 50Hz or 60Hz ambient light flicker.
