Equipped with independent red, green, blue, and infrared (IR) channels, the VEML6046X00 sensor calculates color temperature to balance the white point of automotive displays. It is RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and comes in a miniature, low-profile, opaque, surface-mount package that operates on a 2.5 to 3.6 volt supply voltage. The VEML6046X00's green channel offers spectral sensitivity similar to that of the human eye, ensuring highly accurate measurements, while the IR channel provides stable output across a wide range of light sources.
Thanks to an ambient light range of 0 lx to 176 klx, the sensor does not become saturated in daylight, while its high sensitivity of 0.0053 lx/ct allows the device to be placed behind dark glass. This device is ideal for display backlight controls, infotainment systems, rearview mirror dimming, lighting control systems, and color recognition in automotive applications. Mouser also offers the Vishay Semiconductors VEML6046X00-SB sensor board, an evaluation platform designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the high-precision VEML6046X00 color sensor.
