Avago Technologies Introduces Industry's Smallest Digital Color Sensor for Portable Electronic Devices.Sensor Design-in Made Easy with Avago's Complete Development Kit SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today introduced the industry's smallest Red, Green and Blue (RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). ) digital color sensor for use in a variety of portable electronic applications. The company is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications. Avago's new ADJD-S312-CR999 color sensor is so small at 3 mm by 3 mm that 16 of them can fit on one key of a typical computer keyboard. This compact package paves the way for designers to develop smaller portable electronic devices that require color detection and measurement capabilities. Avago's ADJD-S312-CR999 offers excellent performance in a wide variety of color not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed. See also: Color sensing applications where it can be used in conjunction with a white LED for reflective color measurement. Typical applications include portable electronic laboratory instruments, industrial test equipment, and portable color readers. The small size also makes this color sensor an ideal choice for use in portable consumer devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and hand-held games. The ADJD-S312-CR999 color sensor provides all the necessary circuitry to directly interface with a microcontroller using a conventional two-wire serial interface. Its 3 mm by 3 mm by 0.77 mm lead-free chip-scale package is 55 percent the size and 50 percent the thickness of the closest competitor. Moreover, the sensor operates from a 2.6 V supply voltage, providing significantly lower power consumption for portable devices. To make it even easier to evaluate and design-in the color sensor, Avago also offers a complete "plug and play" development kit that interfaces to a personal computer through a USB port A USB socket on a computer or peripheral device into which a USB cable is plugged. See USB. . Avago was the first company to offer a digital-output color sensor combining higher integration, ease-of-use, smaller size and lower power consumption. The ADJD-S312-CR999 product retains all of these features in a remarkably small chip-scale footprint and is supported with Avago's "all in one box" development kit to reduce design cycle time. Features * Fully integrated RGB digital color sensor * Digital I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output via 2-wire serial interface * Adjustable sensitivity for different levels of illumination * Uniformly distributed RGB photodiode A light sensor (photodetector) that allows current to flow in one direction from one side to the other when it absorbs photons (light). The more light, the more the current. Used to detect light pulses in optical fibers and other light-sensitive applications, it works the opposite of a array * 7-bit resolution per channel output * Built-in internal oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air * Sleep function * Low supply voltage (VDD See Vcc. ) 2.6 V * Operating temperature: 0 C to 70 C * Lead-free package U.S. Pricing and Availability For pricing, samples and production quantities of the ADJD-S312-CR999, please contact Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
