Introduction to TCS34725 Color Sensor
TCS34725 is a color light-to-digital converter that provides an output of RGB digital form and shows clear light sensing parameters. The IR spectral component of the incoming light is reduced through the IR block filter, that configured on the chip and closed to color sensor photodiodes. That provides accurate color measurements.
TCS34725 is best for color sensors for different uses of lighting features due to its high sensitivity and comes with different range and IR blocking filters.
This color sensor is best used for controlling RGB LED backlights, solid-state lighting, health devices, industrial process controllers, and medical devices.
TCS3472 color sensor has features to measure different parameters such as the value of RED, GREEN, and BLUE (filtered), Color Temperature in Kelvin and Lux or Lumens per Square Meter.

How to use TCS34275?
TCS34725 is 16 bit I2C color to digital converter that converts red, green blue, and clear digital value.
Inner 16-bit integrating ADVs converts input data into digital code in IC. The integration of ADC with time is easy to configure. In the inner process baord is configured through a state machine and comes with an I2C interface having address 0x29 for communicating with external microcontrollers.
It also maskable interrupt to send a signal to the controller when color transformation finished

Faqs
What is the introduction of color sensor?
- The normal color sensor comes with high intensity white LED that direct modulated light to point. The white light holds mixture of 3 colors with different wavelenths value. These colors mix with with each other to make different colors shades
What is the working principle of TCS3200 color sensor?
- TCS3200D comes with 4 types of filter, red gree, blue and clear with no filter. If sensor is glowing through ray of light types of filter used through devices can choosen with two logic inputs, S2 and S3
What is the detection distance of TCS34725?
- Detection Distance: 3-10mm.
What is the basic introduction to sensors?
- The sensor is devices that sense and affect to some type of input from physical condition. The input can in form of light, heat, motion, pressure and different other environmental phenomena.
How many colors can TCS3200 detect?
- TCS3200 has features to senese and measure different range of visible colors. Their applications are test strip reading, sortung through color, ambiant light sensing and measuring of value and color matching
What is the difference between TCS3200 and TCS3472?
- TCS3472 sensor contrary to TCS3200 that provides 4 clors channles red, green, blue and clear like analog stress the TCS34742 provides details through I2C bus digitally.
What is the integration time for tcs34725?
- 2.4ms to 614.4ms
How many colors can TCS3200 detect?
- TCS3200 has featurs to sense about infifity range of visible colors and its common uses are test strip reading, sorting through color, ambient light sensing
What is the difference between HLS and HSL color?
- HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness and also known as HLS. HSV full form is hue, saturation, and value, and also called HSB (B for brightness). A third model, used in computer applciations are HSI, for hue, saturation, and intensity.
