SEN0403, Optical Sensor Development Tools Fermion: TCS3430 Tristimulus Color Sensor (Breakout)

Fermion TCS3430 tristimulus colour sensor (breakout). TCS3430 features advanced digital ambient light sensing(ALS) and CIE 1931 tristimulus colour sensing(XYZ). CIE1931 XYZ Tristimulus model is a kind of standard based on three different human cone cell types. The CIE XYZ colour space encompasses all colour sensations that are visible to a person with average eyesight. The spectral response of TCS3430 is almost the same as that of human eyes, which can realize the high-precision measurement of illumination and colour temperature. The TCS3430 tristimulus colour sensor is ideally suited for the use in smartphone applications to improve colour measurement and intensity of ambient light conditions. Also, it can be used in scenarios requiring a true-colour viewing experience like online shopping. It is suitable for colour detection, brightness detection, white balance detection, colour temperature measurement.
