Description:

The TCS3772 device family provides red, green, blue, and clear (RGBC) light sensing and, when coupled with an external IR LED, proximity detection. These devices detect light intensity under a variety of lighting conditions and through a variety of attenuation materials, including dark glass. The proximity detection feature allows a large dynamic range of operation for accurate short distance detection, such as in a cell phone, for detecting when the user positions the phone close to their ear. An internal state machine provides the ability to put the device into a low power state in between proximity and RGBC measurements providing very low average power consumption.

Features:

• Integrated RGB and Clear Color Sensing and Proximity
  Detection
• Programmable Color Sensing and Proximity Detection
• Integrated IR Blocking Filter
• 3.8M:1 Dynamic Range
