VEML6046X00 RGBIR Color Sensor

Vishay Optoelectronics AEC-Q100-qualified RGBIR color sensors feature a highly sensitive photodiode, low-noise amplifier, and a 16-bit ADC in a miniature, opaque, 2.67 mm by 2.45 mm surface-mount package with a low 0.6 mm profile. With separate red, green, blue, and infrared (IR) channels, this automotive-grade device allows for the calculation of the color temperature, enabling white point balancing for displays. The spectral sensitivity of the VEML6046X00’s green channel matches that of the human eye to ensure highly accurate measurements, while the IR channel facilitates a stable output over a wide range of light sources. With an ambient light range from 0 lx to 176 klx, the sensor will not saturate in daylight, while its high sensitivity of 0.0053 lx/ct allows the device to be placed behind dark-cover glass.
