Color 20 Click for detection of visible and infrared light levels

Experience reliable and accurate color and ambient light measurements (up to 176,000 lux) with the VEML6046X00

 

Color 20 Click is a compact add-on board used for precise detection of visible and infrared light levels in embedded applications. It is based on the VEML6046X00 sensor from Vishay Semiconductor, a high-accuracy, automotive-grade color sensor with AEC-Q100 qualification.

 

KEY FEATURES:
 

  • Click Snap: A feature of our standardized Click add-on boards, designed to help you reduce size, weight, and power consumption for final phase prototyping
  • High-Accuracy Color Sensing: Provides precise measurements of red, green, blue, and infrared light
  • Automotive Grade (AEC-Q100): Qualified for use in automotive applications
  • I2C Communication with Interrupt Support: Enables easy interfacing and event-driven operation
  • Peak Sensitivity: Optimized for red (600nm), green (550nm), blue (470nm), and infrared (820nm) light
  • Wide Ambient Light Range: Measures light levels up to 176,000 lux
  • Fine Resolution: Offers a resolution of 0.0053 lux for accurate low-light measurements

 

APPLICATIONS:
 

  • Automatically adjusts display brightness based on ambient light
  • Enhances display visibility in vehicle infotainment systems
  • Controls automatic dimming of rear-view mirrors
  • Enables the measurement of Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)
  • Provides feedback for controlling interior vehicle lighting
  • Suitable for various applications requiring accurate light level and color detection

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™

Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click board to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented the socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click board to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.

ABOUT MIKROE

MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1800+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
