LEDs and sensor come together for colourful dashes

RGB analogue-output colour sensor meets the specifications of the Automobile Electronics Council AEC-Q100 stress test qualification for integrated circuits.

Avago Technologies has introduced the industry's first RGB (red, green, blue) analogue-output colour sensor that meets the specifications of the Automobile Electronics Council AEC-Q100 stress test qualification for integrated circuits.

Components meeting these specifications are considered suitable for use in the harsh automotive environment.

In vehicle interiors, Avago's ADJD-E622-QR999 CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) analogue-output sensor converts coloured light to accurate, proportional red, green and blue voltage outputs.

These outputs can potentially be used for open-loop or close
