TCS3707 ALS/Color Sensor with Flicker Detection The TCS3707 features ambient light and color (RGB) sensing, General Description proximity and flicker detection. 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. Flicker detection is executed in parallel with ambient light and color sensing and has independent gain configuration. The flicker detection engine can also buffer data for calculating other flicker frequencies externally. ams Product Brief Page 1 v1-03 2018-Dec-19 Document FeedbackT C S3707 Key B e nefits & F e atur es The benefits and features of TCS3707 are listed below: Key Benefits & Features Figure 1: Added Value of Using TCS3707 Benefits Featur es Configurable, high sensitivity Programmable gain and integration time 1024x dynamic range by gain adjustment only 1mlux minimum detectable illuminance (100ms) Invisible ALS and color sensing under any glass type Tailored ALS and color response UV/IR blocking filter for RGBC channels Wideband reference channel without filters ALS/color interrupt with thresholds Unique fast ALS integration mode Flicker-immune ALS sensing within 10ms Independently configurable timing and gain Automatic gain adjustment Integrated ambient light flicker detection on chip 50Hz and 60Hz flicker detection flags Flicker detected interrupt 1.8V operation DD Low power consumption and minimum IC Configurable sleep mode traffic Interrupt-driven device On-chip self-calibration of ALS and proximity functions Digital and analog ALS saturation flags Integrated status checking for all functions Proximity saturation flag TCS3707 integrates multiple applications within one device.
