The TCS3200 and TCS3210 programmable color light-to-frequency converters that combine configurable silicon photodiodes and a current-to-frequency converter on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The output is a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance).
Features: High-Resolution Conversion of Light Intensity to Frequency Programmable Color and Full-Scale Output Frequency Communicates Directly With a Microcontroller Single-Supply Operation (2.7 V to 5.5 V) Power Down Feature Nonlinearity Error Typically 0.2% at 50 kHz Stable 200 ppm/°C Temperature Coefficient Low-Profile Lead (Pb) Free and RoHS Compliant Surface-Mount Package
