18 Jun 2012 The ams range of innovative digital ambient light, colour and proximity sensors enables intelligent light sensing for a broad range of applications including industrial control, LED lighting, medical diagnostics and display management. To help assess the suitability of the sensors for new designs, ams also provide evaluation modules (EVMs).
Each EVM comes with a motherboard, a daughterboard mounted with the selected sensor device, an adapter and USB cable, and application software and documents on a Flash drive. A setup wizard will guide you through the full installation of the software provided. Values for register variables may be set via user interface windows using multiple techniques. The Functional tab is commonly used to quickly evaluate the device with nominal settings. The Input Register tab allows the register settings to be changed, and the Output Register tab allows registers to be viewed. Other tabs provide additional demonstration and test features for evaluation.
Pacer has a limited number of sensor evaluation kits available free of charge to customers with new projects. If you are looking for an ambient light or colour sensor, either standalone or combined with proximity sensing, contact us before the end of July with details of your application and design requirements.
Almost 30 years of analogue experience provides ams with an exceptional level of expertise in the fields of low power consumption, high accuracy and overall system power optimization. The digital light and colour sensors form part of a broad product range which also includes light and power management ICs, wireless ICs and encoders.
