VERSION DATA SHEET MRGBiCS RGB-Sensor - LCC 1 INTRODUCTION The RGB Sensors are made of 19x3 photo diodes integrated on chip (special PIN silicon technology with advanced sensitivity). The diodes are aligned as segments of a multiple-element hexagonal matrix structure with the diameter of 2mm. The design as Si-PIN photo diodes allows signal frequencies up to the MHz-range. In order to achieve minimal cross talk between the photodiodes the individual sectors are separated from each other by additional structures. Each of these photodiodes is sensitized with dielectric RGB1 (red, green, blue) filters...

It is important to shield the single color diodes to minimize cross-talk among the 3 colored areas/diodes. In general the TrD has to be connected with the Vref or in the case of MAZeT’s MTI04C-amplifier with the 4th channel of it). 8 Please note the sensor includes...

VERSION DATA SHEET MRGBiCS RGB-Sensor - LCC 9 HANDLING Take care to keep the sensor surface clean. Dust or scratches will adversely affect the sensor parameters. Sensors should be handled like all optical devices. It is important to use normal ESD handling and precautions for ESD sensitive devices. Each sensor element is baked prior packing for shipment (24 hours at 125°C). Devices are packed in a sealed aluminized envelope with humidity indicator card and desiccant. Keep the opening and handling time of bag as short as possible and note the specified MSL (see chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte...

VERSION DATA SHEET MRGBiCS RGB-Sensor - LCC 11 APPLICATION NOTES CIRCUIT Opposite figure shows a circuit for the conversion of photo current to an equivalent voltage. These voltage can be processed e.g. with an ADC. By the selection of suitable resistors the output voltage range can be adjusted to the photo current value. (for example the pin-programmable transimped- ance amplifier MTI04 in the dashed box). If using the MRGBiCS as a standalone device without the amplifier MTI04, please ignore the dashed box.
