{"product_id":"sparkfun-mikroe-spectrometer-2-click","title":"SparkFun MIKROE Spectrometer 2 Click","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpectrometer 2 Click is a compact add-on board that collects light waves. This board features the VD6283TX, a color sensor with advanced light flicker extraction from STMicroelectronics. The VD6283TX performs fast and accurate light measurements thanks to an individual ADC and a readout for each color channel - red, green, blue, IR, clear, and visible. It 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 to avoid �banding effects� or check that they are safe for the human eye. This Click board� is suitable for screen brightness adjustment and white balance color assistance, lux and CCT measurement, or light frequency extraction for flicker correction assistance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpectrometer 2 Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpectrometer 2 Click as its foundation uses 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpectrometer 2 Click 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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 labeled as INT, indicating when a specific interrupt event occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInterface: Analog, I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompatibility: mikroBUS�\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 28.6 x 25.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput Voltage: 3.3V\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeak Wavelength (R\/G\/B\/VIS\/IR\/C): 610\/550\/470\/560\/820\/680 nm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAC Flicker Frequency Detection Range: Min. 100Hz, Max. 2000Hz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eResolution: Min. 16 bit, Max. 24 bit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature Range: Min. -30°C, Typ. +25°C, Max. +85°C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/3\/1\/8\/3\/d\/Schematic-20614-MIKROE_Spectrometer_2_Click.pdf\"\u003eSchematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/e\/0\/7\/9\/3\/VD6283TX_Datasheet.pdf\"\u003eVD6283TX Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mikroe.com\/mikrosdk\"\u003emikroSDK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/MikroElektronika\/mikrosdk_click_v2\/tree\/master\/clicks\/spectrometer2\"\u003eGitHub\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"sparkfun-10","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40531169574997,"sku":"20614:SEN-20614:spark","price":2870.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/1611\/products\/20614_-_MIKROE_Spectrometer_2_Click_2.jpg?v=1678248833","url":"https:\/\/www.tanotis.com\/products\/sparkfun-mikroe-spectrometer-2-click","provider":"Tanotis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
