ams OSRAM AS7263 6-Channel Spectral Sensing Engine

ams OSRAM AS7263 6-Channel Spectral Sensing Engine is optimized for spectral identification in the near IR (NIR) light wavelengths. The AS7263 integrates six independent optical filters whose spectral response is defined in the NIR wavelengths from approximately 600nm to 870nm with a full-width half-max (FWHM) of 20nm. An integrated LED driver with a programmable current is provided for electronic shutter applications. The AS7263 integrates Gaussian filters into standard CMOS silicon via Nano-optic deposited interference filter technology and is packaged in an LGA package. This package provides a built-in aperture to control the light entering the sensor array. Control and Spectral data access are implemented through either the I2C register set or a high-level AT Spectral Command set via a serial UART.
