Das Spectrometer Click Board™ verfügt über ein 11-Kanal-Spektrometer für Anwendungen zur Spektralidentifikation und Farbabstimmung. Die spektrale Reaktion ist in den Wellenlängen von ca. 350 nm bis 1000 nm definiert. Steuerung und Zugriff auf Spektraldaten werden über eine serielle I²C-Schnittstelle mit sehr geringem Stromverbrauch implementiert. 6 Kanäle können parallel von unabhängigen ADCs verarbeitet werden, während die anderen Kanäle über einen Multiplexer zugänglich sind. 8 optische Kanäle decken das sichtbare Spektrum ab, ein Kanal kann zur Messung von Nahinfrarotlicht verwendet werden und ein Kanal ist eine Fotodiode ohne Filter („klar“).
Das Spectrometer Click Board™ integriert außerdem einen dedizierten Kanal zur Erkennung von Umgebungslichtflimmern mit 50 Hz oder 60 Hz. Die Flimmererkennungs-Engine kann auch Daten zur externen Berechnung anderer Flimmerfrequenzen puffern. Der NIR-Kanal kann in Kombination mit dem anderen VIS-Kanal Informationen zu den Umgebungslichtbedingungen liefern (Lichtquellenerkennung). Das Spectrometer Click Board™ kann für Spektralmessungen, Farberkennung reflektierender Objekte, Farbmessungen und Umgebungslichtflimmererkennung verwendet werden.
How Does The Spectrometer Click Board™ Work?
The Spectrometer Click Board™ is based on the AS7341 IC, 11-Channel Spectral Sensor Frontend from AMS-AG. This IC features 6 independent optical channels with a dedicated 16-bit light-to-frequency converter. Gain and integration time of the 6 channels can be adjusted with the serial interface. Wait time can be programmed to automatically set a delay between two consecutive spectral measurements and to reduce overall power consumption. The other available channels can be accessed by a multiplexer (SMUX) connecting them to one of the internal ADCs. Also features a 4x4-photodiode array. On top and below the photodiode array there are two photodiodes with dedicated functions such as flicker detection and near-infrared response.
The Spectrometer Click Board™includes an LDO AP7331 to provide the 1.8 V supply voltage for the AS7341 and 3 N-Channel MOSFET BSS138 for voltage level translation. The AS7341, interrupt-driven IC, is controlled and monitored by registers accessed through the I²C serial interface. These registers provide device control functions and can be read to determine device status and acquire device data. The device supports 7-bit chip addressing and both standard and full-speed clock frequency modes. It possesses 8 optical channels distributed over the visible spectral range, plus clear and NIR channel to accurately measure and match colors, and configurable sleep mode. The device also integrates a dedicated channel to detect 50Hz or 60Hz ambient light flicker. The flicker detection engine can also buffer data for calculating other flicker frequencies externally.
Upon power-up, the Spectrometer Click Board™ initializes. During initialization (typically 200μs), the device will deterministically send NAK on I²C and cannot accept I²C transactions. All communication with the device must be delayed and all outputs from the device must be ignored including interrupts. After initialization, the device enters the SLEEP state (the internal oscillator and other circuitry are not active resulting in ultra-low power consumption). Once the Power ON bit is enabled, the device enters the IDLE state in which the internal oscillator and attendant circuitry are active, but power consumption remains low. Whenever the spectral measurement is enabled the device enters the ACTIVE state. If the spectral measurement is disabled the device returns to the IDLE state.
The Spectrometer Click Board™ can be supplied and interfaced with both 3.3V and 5V supply voltages. The onboard SMD jumper labelled as VCC SEL allows voltage selection for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. More information about the AS7341 can be found in the attached datasheet. However, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy to use functions and a usage example that may be used as a reference for the development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Spectrometer Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers necessary functions that enables the usage of the Spectrometer Click Board™. User can read or write data in and from registers, check interrupt state, set different configuration and read data from all channels available.
Key Functions
void spectrometer_raw_rd_val_mode_1 ( uint8_t *adc_data );- Function is used to read out channels with SMUX configration 1; F1-F4, Clear.void spectrometer_raw_rd_val_mode_2 ( uint8_t *adc_data );- Function is used to read out channels with SMUX configration 2; F5-F8, Clear.uint8_t spectrometer_flicker_detection ( );- Function is used to detect flicker for 100 and 120 Hz.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C module, LOG structure and sets INT pin as input.
- Application Initialization - Initalizes I2C driver, performs safety check and makes an initial log.
- Application Task - This example shows the capabilities of the Spectrometer click by reading out channels with SMUX configurations 1 and 2, detecting flicker for 100 and 120 Hz and displaying data via USART terminal.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The Spectrometer Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
