Versatile digital colour sensor IC features I2C bus interface

Mouser now stocks Rohm's BH1745NUC digital colour sensor IC with I2C bus interface. The IC senses red, green and blue light (RGB) and converts them to digital values. It has a high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and 'excellent' ir-cut characteristics. This makes it ideal for obtaining illuminance and colour temperature of ambient light for adjusting TV LCD backlights, mobile phones and tablet PCs. The device makes it possible to detect a very wide light intensity range, says the company.
