## **DESCRIPTION** 

VEML3328 sensor senses red, green, blue, clear, and IR light by incorporating photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog / digital circuits into a single CMOS chip. With this sensor, the brightness and color temperature of a display backlight can be adjusted based on the ambient light source, and it can differentiate indoor from outdoor lighting environments. 

- Low power consumption I[2] C (SMBus compatible) interface 

- Floor life: 168 h, MSL 3, according to J-STD-020 

- Output type: I[2] C bus 

- Operation voltage: 2.6 V to 3.6 V 

- Material categorization: for definitions of compliance please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912 

## **APPLICATIONS** 

- Automatic white balancing and color cast correction in digital cameras 

- Automatic LCD backlight adjustment 

- Maintaining consistent true color and ideal brightness levels on handheld displays as users move between indoor and outdoor environments 

- On / off light switching in industrial and consumer applications 

- Active monitoring of LED color output for IoT and smart lighting

## **APPLICATION INFORMATION** 

## **Pin Connection With the Host** 

The VEML3328 is a cost effective solution color and IR sensor with an I[2] C interface. All possible settings and result data can be accessed via the standard I[2] C interface. 

A typical application circuit is shown in Fig. 6 below. The additional 0.1 μF capacitor near the VDD pin in the circuit is used for power supply noise rejection. Pull-up resistors for the I[2] C bus design are recommended to be 2.2 k  .

## **Digital Interface** 

The VEML3328 contains a command register accessible via the I[2] C bus. All settings can be controlled via this register. The VEML3328’s I[2] C command format description for read and write operations between VEML3328 and the host is shown in Fig. 7. The white areas indicate the host activity and the gray areas indicate VEML3328’s acknowledgement of the host access activity. Note that this protocol must be followed exactly to avoid false communication on the bus. Special care should be taken for the “Read Word” format, as here a repeated start condition is a must, as indicated.

## **Data Access** 

Each of the C, R, G, B, and IR result registers has a 16-bit resolution (2 bytes). One byte is the LSB and the other byte is the MSB. The host needs to follow the read word protocol as shown in Fig. 7. The data format shows as below.

## **RECOMMENDED IRON TIP SOLDERING CONDITION AND WARNING HANDLING** 

1. Solder the device with the following conditions: 

   - 1.1. Soldering temperature: 400 °C (max.) 

   - 1.2. Soldering time: 3 s (max.) 

2. If the temperature of the method portion rises in addition to the residual stress between the leads, the possibility that an open or short circuit occurs due to the deformation or destruction of the resin increases 

3. The following methods: VPS and wave soldering, have not been suggested for the component assembly 

4. Cleaning method conditions: 

   - 4.1. Solvent: methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol 

   - 4.2. Solvent temperature < 45 °C (max.) 

   - 4.3. Time: 3 min (min.)
