TMD3782
Datasheet - Mar. 2013 - V2
Color Light-To-Digital Converter with Proximity Sensing
The TMD3782x device will perform color temperature
measurement, ambient light sensing (ALS) and proximity
detection with background light rejection. The device detects
light intensity under a variety of lighting conditions and through a
variety of attenuation materials, including dark glass. The
proximity detection feature allows a large dynamic range of
operation for accurate distance detection, such as in a cell phone
when the user positions the phone close to their ear. IR LED sink
current is factory trimmed to provide consistent proximity
response without requiring customer calibrations. An internal
state machine provides the ability to put the device into a low power
state betweenproximity and RGBC measurements providing very
low average power consumption.
General Description
The color sensing feature is useful in applications such as
backlight control, solid state lighting, reflected LED color
sampler, or fluorescent light color temperature detection. The
integrated IR blocking filter makes this device an excellent
ambient light sensor, color temperature monitor, and general
purpose color sensor.
