TCS230D, Programmable Color Light-to-Frequency Converter, 8 Pin SOIC, Quantity 2, Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions (TAOS). The TCS230 programmable color light-to-frequency converter combines 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) and frequency directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance). The full-scale ouput frequency can be scaled by one of three preset values via two control input pins. The TCS230 is a small, highly integated color sensing device packaged in a clear plastic 8-pin SOIC. It reports, as analog frequency, the amount of shortwave (blue), mediumwave (green), longwave (red), and wideband (white) optical power incident onto the device. It can be used in a variety of color sensing applications. * High Resolution Conversion of Light Intensity to Frequency * Programmable Color and Full-Scale Output Frequency * Communicates Directly to Microcontroller * Single-Supply Operation (2.7V to 5.5V) * Nonlinearity Error Typically 0.2% at 50 kHz * Stable 200 ppm/deg C Temperature Coefficient (TCS230D, programmable color light-to-freq converter (2) was posted and is owned by: Sidney Clayton) |
