About this item

The AS7262 by AMS is a cost-effective, highly integrated multi-spectral sensor-on-chip designed specifically for spectral identification applications. This compact sensor provides 6-channel multi-spectral sensing across visible wavelengths ranging from approximately 430nm to 670nm, making it ideal for color analysis, material detection, and environmental sensing. Each spectral channel features a full-width half-max (FWHM) of 40nm, offering precise wavelength discrimination for accurate spectral measurements.The AS7262 is perfect for projects requiring detailed color or spectral data beyond simple RGB sensing, such as agriculture, chemical analysis, food quality control, and smart lighting systems. Its integrated design includes a programmable LED driver that controls the illumination source with adjustable current, enabling electronic shutter functionality and consistent measurement conditions. This simplifies system design by removing the need for external LED drivers.With an I2C interface, the AS7262 is easy to integrate into microcontroller-based systems, making it a versatile sensor for embedded applications. Its small form factor and low power consumption further enhance its suitability for portable or battery-powered devices. Overall, the AS7262 provides reliable multi-spectral sensing with minimal external components, delivering a robust solution for precise spectral identification needs.
