Si photodiode
S9702
RGB color sensor
The S9702 is a color sensor molded into a plastic package having a 3-channel (RGB) photodiode sensitive to the blue (λp=460 nm),
green (λp=540 nm) and red (λp=620 nm) regions of the spectrum. The S9702 has a 3-segment (RGB) active area of 1 mm.
When compared to the previous model (S9032-02), the S9702 is signifi cantly miniaturized (package size 55 % less in cubic volume,
PC board mount space 43 % less in area).
