Overview
Le Spectrometer 2 Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte qui collecte les ondes lumineuses. Cette carte est équipée du VD6283TX, un capteur de couleur avec extraction avancée du scintillement lumineux de STMicroelectronics. Le VD6283TX effectue des mesures lumineuses rapides et précises grâce à un ADC individuel et une lecture pour chaque canal de couleur - rouge, vert, bleu, IR, clair et visible. Il utilise des filtres de couleur hybrides avec des réponses précises permettant un calcul précis de la température de couleur corrélée (CCT) et des informations Lux. Son architecture brevetée et une conception de photodiode haute performance peuvent également extraire les fréquences de scintillement de la lumière pour éviter les « effets de bande » ou vérifier qu'elles sont sans danger pour l'œil humain. Ce Click board™ convient au réglage de la luminosité de l'écran et à l'assistance couleur de la balance des blancs, à la mesure du lux et du CCT, ou à l'extraction de fréquence lumineuse pour l'assistance à la correction du scintillement.
La carte Click™ Spectrometer 2 est prise en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette carte Click™ est livrée sous la forme d'un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The Spectrometer 2 Click Board™ Work?
The Spectrometer 2 Click Board™ is based on the VD6283TX, a color sensor with advanced light flicker extraction from STMicroelectronics. It performs fast and accurate light measurements thanks to an individual ADC with a resolution of 24 bits (16 bit + 8 bit for high accuracy under low light) and a readout for six color channels: red, green, blue, IR, clear, and visible. The color channels can be individually enabled to optimize power consumption, alongside 15 programmable gains for a high-dynamic range, through a serial interface. Six channels can operate with independent, parallel reading for ALS or flicker operations, one represents a dedicated fast channel for light flicker measurement, and one stands for an internal dark channel.
The VD6283TX uses hybrid color filters with precise responses allowing accurate computation of the correlated color temperature (CCT) and Lux information. Its patented architecture and a high-performance photodiode design can also extract light-flickering frequencies from a minimum of 100Hz and a maximum frequency of 2kHz, including LED square signals, to avoid "banding effects" or check that they are safe for the human eye.
The Spectrometer 2 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum clock frequency of 1MHz, fully adjustable through software registers. The VD6283TX does not require a specific Power-Up sequence but requires a voltage of 1.8V for its interface and logic part to work correctly. Therefore, a small regulating LDO is used, the ADP151, providing a 1.8V out of 3.3V mikroBUS™ power rail. Since the sensor for operation requires a power supply of 1.8V, this Click board™ also features the PCA9306 voltage-level translator allowing the VD6283TX to work with 3.3V MCU properly.
The VD6283TX can stream the following data continuously: ALS color data over the I2C interface and raw flicker data over the AN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. It also possesses an additional interrupt signal, routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as INT, indicating when a specific interrupt event occurs.
The Spectrometer 2 Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
