TCS37073M

TCS37073M is an ALS/Colour sensor with flicker detection. It features ambient light and colour (RGB) sensing, proximity, and flicker detection. The ambient light and colour 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 colour 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 colour sensing and has an independent gain configuration. TCS3707 integrates multiple applications within one device. The applications for TCS3707 include brightness management for displays, colour management for displays, camera image processing, flicker-immune camera operation, and touch screen disable.
