Data Sheet MRGBiCT – TO39 1 Function The RGB Sensors are made of 19 x 3 photo diodes (special PIN silicon technology with extended sensibility) integrated on chip. The diodes are carried out as segments of a multiple-element hexagonal matrix structure with the diameter of 2,0 mm. The design as Si-PIN photo diodes allows signal frequencies up to MHz-range. In order to achieve a small cross talk between the photodiodes the individual sectors were separated from each other by additional structures. Each of these photodiodes is sensitized with dielectric RGB1 (red green blue) filters that represent...

Data Sheet MRGBiCT – TO39 common cathode 9 Handling and Storage Care should be taken to keep the sensor surface clean. Dust, scratches will adversely affect the sensor parameters. Sensors should be handled as optical device. It is important to use normal ESD handling and precautions for ESD sensitive devices. 10 Packing Information Standard packing’s are small boxes with anti static foam. Otherwise has to be cleared with sales, see chapter 12. 11 Application NOTES 11.1 CIRCUIT Opposite figure shows a circuit for the conversion of photo current to an equivalent voltage. These voltage can be processed...

Data Sheet MRGBiCT – TO39 11.2 LIMITATIONS The spectral filters of our color sensors are specialized for applications with broadband source of lighting >10 nm. Please ask our sales team before you use our sensor in combination with narrowband luminous sources. 11.3 Angle of incidence In reliance on the packaging the sensor IC has an aperture angle (beam width) of nearly 90°. Traditional an interference filter works depends on angle of incidence. So a bumped light beam with different angles to vertical until 10° will not causes any filter shifts. Make sure by using lenses or optical holes that...
