RGB Color Sensor: S10170
Hamamatsu Corporation
Hamamatsu Corporation introduces the S10170 RGB color sensor for use in RGB-LCD backlight monitors in portable devices or LCD monitors, detectors for various light sources, and color detection applications.
The S10170 is a 3-channel color sensor that includes three photodiodes which are sensitive to separate regions of the spectrum. Red sensitivity is from 590 nm upwards, while green sensitivity ranges from 480 nm to 600 nm and blue sensitivity ranges from 400 nm to 540 nm. The total active area of the sensor is 1 mm x 1 mm.
The S10170 package is a surface-mount plastic package that is RoHS-compliant (lead-free). Its total package size is 3.0 mm x 1.6 mm x 1.0 mm, which is significantly smaller than previous Hamamatsu RGB color sensors. In comparison to the S9702, the S10170 is 80% smaller in cubic volume and occupies 77% less space on a printed circuit board.
