The ROHM BH175NUC is a 16bit color sensor that can sense RED, GREEN and BLUE light and converts to a digital values. This device is highly sensitive to wide dynamic range illuminance of color at 0.005 ~ 40k LUX temperature ambient typically use in adjusting LCD backlights, Display Panel, Smart Phones Display, tablet pc’s, color sorting devices. Digital camera, digital video camera, portable gaming devices, clinical instruments and labs. This device communicates via i2c protocol or Two Wire Bus Interface that correspond to 1.8v logic interface with programmable interrupt functions. For more details regarding the command sets and sequence please refer to the documents below.
