Boardoza TCS37013M RGB Color, Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor Breakout Board
The TCS37013M, an ordering variant of the TCS3701 sensor, is an ultra-high-precision RGB and ambient light sensor designed specifically for OLED backlight applications, providing accurate measurements of color temperature (CCT) and light intensity. The TPS65000 regulator integrated within the board provides a wide input voltage range of 3.3 V to 6 V for the TCS3701 sensor, which operates internally at 1.8 V, ensuring full compatibility with various systems. Its high dynamic range and low-noise power management make the board ideal for smartphone brightness control, wearable devices, and low-light IoT environments. All data is accessible via a single I2C bus, enabling rapid prototyping and seamless integration into professional hardware projects.
