Hamamatsu New I2C Interface-Compatible Colour Sensor Photo IC

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a new RGB colour sensor Photo IC, the S11059-01WT. The new device features I2C compatibility and uses a small and highly reliable WL-CSP (Wafer Level – Chip Size Package). To ensure low power consumption this sensor includes an auto-sleep function that automatically switches the detector to standby after a detection event. Another attractive feature of these devices is the ability to use lead-free reflow soldering, which improves the cost and speed of the manufacturing process.
