Summary of VD6283TX HYBRID FILTER MULTISPECTRAL SENSOR
STMicroelectronics’ VD6283 is a miniature color sensor (1.83 × 1.0 × 0.55 mm) offering fast, accurate ambient-light and color measurements with per-channel ADC/readout and hybrid color filters. It computes CCT and Lux, supports display brightness management and scene correction, and uniquely extracts light-flicker waveforms from 100 Hz to 2 kHz (including LED square waves) while running ALS operations. The optical BGA module operates from 7 mLux to 30 kLux (green), uses six independent channels, communicates via I2C up to 1 Mbit/s, and runs from a 1.8 V supply across −30°C to +85°C.

STMicroelectronics’ color sensor with advanced light flicker extraction is fast and accurate thanks to an individual ADC
STMicroelectronics’ VD6283 (1.83 mm x 1.0 mm x 0.55 mm) is a color sensor with advanced light flicker extraction. Light measurement is fast and accurate thanks to an individual ADC and a readout for each color channel. The VD6283 uses hybrid color filters with precise responses allowing accurate computation of the correlated color temperature (CCT) and Lux information. The VD6283 can be used for display brightness management or scene light correction.
With a patented architecture and a high-performance photodiode design, the VD6283 can extract light flickering frequencies to avoid banding effects on videos or check that they are safe for the human eye. Additionally, the VD6283 is the only sensor able to extract different light flicker waveforms from 100 Hz and 2 kHz, including LED square signals, that can run flicker operations simultaneously with ALS operations.
