Vishay VEML3328 & VEML3328SL RGBCIR Color Sensors

Vishay VEML3328 and VEML3328SL RGBCIR Color Sensors integrate photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog/digital circuits into a single CMOS chip, enabling them to sense Red, Green, Blue, Clear, and IR light. The multi-spectrum sensing ability of the VEML3328 and VEML3328SL sensors makes these devices ideal for backlight adjustment applications in indoor and outdoor environments. Vishay VEML3328 and VEML3328SL sensors feature a low 2.6V to 3.6V operation voltage and a low power consumption I2C interface.

The VEML3328 is available in a OPLGA4 package, and the VEML3328SL is offered in a OPLGA4 SV (side view) package. Both devices are Pb-free, halogen free, and RoHS compliant.
