Data Sheet - MTCSiCS

Product catalog summary

Function: The MTCSiCS True Color Sensor is composed of 19 x 3 photo diodes using special PIN silicon technology, integrated into a hexagonal matrix structure. It is designed to detect primary colors in the CIE color space with high signal frequencies and minimal cross-talk.

Application: The sensor is suitable for quality control, production monitoring, manufacturing control, color mark detection, and color measurement.

Features: The sensor includes dielectric filters for high optical performance, high transmission, minimal aging, high temperature stability, and reduced cross-talk. It is compact with a 2 mm diameter sensitive surface and conforms to RoHS standards.

Maximum Ratings/Characteristics: The sensor operates at temperatures between -20°C and +85°C, with a storage range of -40°C to +100°C. It has a light sensitivity area of 0.76 mm² per color array and a typical photo sensitivity range with specific wavelengths for different colors.

Characteristic Curve: The document includes graphs showing the typical relative sensitivity of the sensor across different wavelengths, indicating its performance with both broadband and narrow-band light.

Package Overview: The sensor is housed in an 8-pin LCC package, with precautions to protect the sensitive surface from mechanical damage.

Pin-Configuration: The sensor's pin configuration is detailed, with specific pins assigned to different color outputs and a common cathode.

Soldering Profile: A typical soldering profile is provided, indicating the temperature and time parameters for proper soldering.

Application Circuit: A circuit diagram is included for converting photo current to voltage, which can be processed with an ADC. The circuit allows for output voltage adjustment through resistor selection.

Ordering Information: The document lists the True Color sensor with LCC8-package and related application boards available for order.

Warnings: The document advises against using the sensor in safety-critical applications and emphasizes that the information is for reference only, as the product is under development.
