Description
The TCS3103 and TCS3104 RGB Light-to-Voltage Converters combine three photodiodes with optical filters,
amplifiers, and gain-switching circuitry on a single chip. The output of each channel is a voltage that is linearly
proportional to light intensity (irradiance) on the corresponding photodiode element. Gain is switchable via a
digital input pin from 1× to 4× on the TCS3104, and from 2× to 4× on the TCS3103 (as compared to 1× of
TCS3104).
Each channel on the device consists of a photodiode with a red, green, or blue optical filter, a current-to-voltage
converter, and gain control elements. The voltage from each of the red, green, and blue channels is output on
the VOR, VOG, and VOB pins, respectively. The single MFP pin controls the gain for all three channels. Each of
the three photodiode channels is split into three elements, which are dispersed in a 3 × 3 array. This makes the
device less sensitive to non-uniform illumination across the sensing area. The overall photodiode active area
is 378 μm × 378 μm. Each channel is factory-trimmed for low dark offset voltage and uniform sensitivity from
device-to-device.
The TCS3103 and TCS3104 are intended for use in a variety of applications including color-point feedback
control in solid-state illumination and backlight systems, color adjustment in printers, process controls,
diagnostic systems, paper and product handling, toys, and games.

LIGHT-TO-VOLTAGE COLOR SENSOR
TAOS108B − JULY 2010
Detailed Description
The TCS3103 and TCS3104 devices output a voltage that is linearly proportional to light intensity in the spectral
range of interest on each of the three sensor channels. Figure 2 shows how each sensor responds to light of
various wavelengths. The peak response of each of the three channels roughly corresponds to blue, green, and
red portions of the visible light spectrum. Thus, when light impinges upon the three elements, each element
gives an output that corresponds to the blue, green, and red components of the light. By measuring the
amplitude and ratios of the three channels, information about the color of the light can be obtained.
lv
al
id
Each channel responds linearly to light intensity from a range of near zero light to a maximum value that is
determined by the gain and the supply voltage of the device. The output of the device can swing from near
ground level to near the supply voltage of the device. The dark voltage, or output of the device with no light input,
is determined by internal amplifier offsets and is factory-trimmed to be a minimum value. If very accurate,
low-level light measurement is required, the dark voltage value for each channel can be measured and
subtracted from subsequent light readings to obtain a more accurate light measurement.
The Multifunction Pin (MFP) on each device can be used for selecting gain mode (Table 1).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Power Supply Considerations
The power supply lines (VDD and GND) should be bypassed by placing an 0.1-μF capacitor with low ESR and
short leads (ideally, a surface mount ceramic type) as close as possible to the device package.

lv
Although the output of the device can be connected to a comparator for simple threshold measurements, or to
another amplifier stage, most applications will require that the three channels be connected to analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) so that the light and color information can be processed by a microcontroller, computer, or
other device. In many cases, the outputs can be directly connected to the ADC inputs. In some cases, for
example if the light is modulated, it may be desirable to insert active or passive low-pass filters on the channels
prior to the ADC, to smooth out the modulation ripple that would otherwise result in noisy measurements. The
cutoff frequency of the filters would, of course, depend upon the modulation frequency of the incoming light. With
a pulse-width modulated (PWM) input light signal, it may be possible to synchronize the ADC sampling with the
on-time of the PWM signal. In this case, a low-pass filter would not be required because the device output would
be sampled only during the on time of the input light source. A recommendation for minimum pulse width
would be 3 × the rise time of the device under the chosen gain setting.
The TCS310x should use the following power up sequence: A stable ground reference from the system should
be applied first, followed by the VDD power applied second. This means VDD cannot be applied while the GND
pin is floating or without a ground reference. Afterward, the MFP pin may be biased or driven. The MFP pin must
always have a valid logic reference level. The pin may be biased or driven to a logical high or logical low level.

Moisture Sensitivity
al
id
Optical characteristics of the device can be adversely affected during the soldering process by the release and
vaporization of moisture that has been previously absorbed into the package molding compound. To ensure the
package molding compound contains the smallest amount of absorbed moisture possible, each device is
dry-baked prior to being packed for shipping. Devices are packed in a sealed aluminized envelope with silica
gel to protect them from ambient moisture during shipping, handling, and storage before use.
The FN package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 3 and the devices should be stored under
the following conditions:
5°C to 50°C
