Mouser Electronics Now Stocking ams TCS3408 Color Sensor to Enable More Vivid Smartphone Camera Images

December 17, 2019 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the TCS3408 color sensor from ams.

The ams TCS3408 color sensor is an ultra-high sensitivity light-to-digital converter that features ambient light sensing (ALS); red, green, and blue (RGB) color sensing; and selective flicker detection. The ambient light and color sensing functions provide 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 architecture of the engine features self-maximizing dynamic range, ambient light subtraction, data output and interrupt-driven 1.8V I²C communications interface.

Applications for the TCS3408 color sensor include cameras, smartphones, tablets, and display backlight control.
