Multispectral sensor on chip for industrial and consumer spectral analysis launched by ams

Jan. 25, 2017
Available in a 4.5 x 4.7 x 2.5 mm package, the AS7262 visible range sensor and AS7263 near infrared (NIR) sensor each provide six calibrated spectral channels and were designed for use in spectral analyzers for consumer and industrial applications, according to ams.

Available in a 4.5 x 4.7 x 2.5 mm package, the AS7262 visible range sensor and AS7263 near infrared (NIR) sensor each provide six calibrated spectral channels and were designed for use in spectral analyzers for consumer and industrial applications, according to ams. The sensor-on-chips employ a new fabrication technique which enables nano-optical interference filters to be deposited directly on the CMOS silicon die. The AS7262 sensor features six visible channels: 450 nm, 500 nm, 550 nm, 570 nm, 600 nm, and 650 nm, each with 40 nm FWHM. The AS7263 NIR sensor features six NIR channels: 610 nm, 680 nm, 730 nm, 760 nm, 810 nm, and 860 nm, each with 20 nm FWHM. Both devices include an electronic shutter with LED drive circuitry, which means that device designers can control the light source and spectral sensing functions with a single chip.
