ams OSRAM AS7343L 13-channel multi-spectral sensor

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the AS7343L 13-channel multi-spectral sensor from ams OSRAM. The sensor combines multi-channel colour analysis with XYZ sensor technology to match the human eye’s perception of colour and light intensity. When integrated into colorimeters, portable spectrometers, and consumer devices, the multi-spectral sensor provides flexibility and functionality to users in applications for colour matching, lighting control and spectral analysis. The device is designed for reflective, transmissive and emissive measurements including lateral flow test applications, fluid or reagent analysis, colour matching, and spectral identification in the visible range.

The sensor is suitable for colour analysis in applications that require frequent, accurate measurements. The sensor can be used in smoke alarms and heat alarms, for the detection of spectral smoke signatures. Spectral analysis by the sensor can enable a smoke sensor to distinguish between different types of smoke, from burning wood to plastic or water vapour.

The sensor is housed in a flat 3.1 x 2.0 x 1.0 mm package, suitable for space-constrained applications. The device integrates a programmable digital GPIO and LED driver facilitating light source and trigger/sync control. Device control and spectral data access are implemented through a serial I²C interface.
