Kits speed colour sensor development

Easy-to-use "plug-and-play" development kits save customers time in evaluating red, green and blue (RGB) colour sensor products.

Avago Technologies has released three easy-to-use "plug-and-play" development kits that save customers time in evaluating its latest red, green and blue (RGB) colour sensor products All that is needed to use any of the new HDJD-JDXX RGB colour sensor development kits is a personal computer

Each kit comes complete with all the tools and software customers need to quickly develop their colour sensing and measurement applications.

Avago's HDJD-JDXX development kits are also ideal for use by designers who have little or no prior experience using colour sensors for their applications.

Some of the target areas where Avago's family of RGB colour sensor products are used include dashboards and interior lighting in automobiles, illumination and colour management in LCD displays, and automatic interior and exterior lighting systems used in homes and businesses.

Other applications include consumer electronics, portable medical devices, laboratory equipment, portable colour readers, and industrial equipment.

"Today's product offering is in response to the feedback that we've received from customers looking for a simple, time-saving solution that will enable them to easily evaluate and install our RGB colour sensor products into their applications", said Soo Ghee Lee, Vice President and General Manager of Avago Technologies' Solid-state Illumination Division.

"These new development kits provide our customers with a complete 'all-in-one-box' solution that will enable them to reduce design cycle time and get their products to market sooner".

Each of the development kits provides customers with easy installation procedures, and includes colour sensing modules (transmissive and reflective) and a colour reader board.

The kit also includes a user-friendly software interface which provides customers with an interactive workspace on their PC to experience colour recognition and differentiation, and calibrate Avago's RGB colour sensors to meet their specific application needs.

The HDJD-JD02 kit uses with Avago's HDJD-S722-QR999 colour sensor.

This solution is used to detect the presence of specific colours in a variety of applications ranging from medical analysers to paint pigment and coating applications to LCD displays.

The HDJD-JD05 kit is embedded with the ADJD-S313-QR999 digital colour sensor that can interface with a microcontroller without the need for any additional components.

This digital sensor is ideal for use in a wide variety of portable display applications such as mobile devices, MP3 players and PDAs where it can be used in conjunction with a white LED for reflective colour measurement.

The HDJD-JD06 kit is based on the ADJD-E622-QR999 automotive-grade colour sensor.

This solution is ideal for use in dashboard illumination, automotive interior lighting, infotainment and navigational displays.

This solution, which meets Automobile Electronics Council AEC-Q100 standards, combines a photodiode array and three transimpedance amplifiers in a single monolithic CMOS IC solution. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
