Colour sensor IC

26 October 2011 Opto-Electronics

The new S11059-01WT from Hamamatsu Photonics is an RGB colour sensor photo IC featuring I2C compatibility and housed in a small and highly reliable WL-CSP (wafer level chip scale package). To ensure low power consumption, the sensor includes an auto-sleep function that automatically switches the detector to standby after a detection event.

Another feature is the ability to use lead-free reflow soldering, which improves the cost and speed of the manufacturing process.

The new device’s compact size (1,18 x 1,68 x 0,45 mm) and simplicity of integration with products implementing the I²C protocol makes them well suited for LCD backlight and RGB LED brightness adjustment.
