Description
Avago Color Sensor is a high performance, small in size, cost effective light to voltage converting sensor. The sensor combines a photodiode array and three trans-impedance amplifiers in a single monolithic CMOS IC solution. With Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) color filters coated over the photodiode array, the sensor converts RGB light to analog voltage outputs, denoted by VROUT, VGOUT and VBOUT, respectively. The sensor is driven by a single 5 V supply and incorporates an internal 5 V to 3.3 V voltage regulator. The color sensor module consists of a color sensor packaged in a 5 x 5 x 2 [mm] surface mount QFN-16, flat flexible cable connector and a decoupling capacitor mounted on a PCB.
