10. APPLICATION CIRCUIT
Opposite figure shows a circuit for the conversion of photo current to an equivalent
voltage. These voltage can be processed e.g. with an ADC. By the selection of suitable
resistors the output voltage range can be adjusted to the photo current value. (for
example the pin-programmable transimpedance amplifier MTI04 with the resistors
25k
, 500k
and 5M
)
11. APPLICATION NOTE
It is recommended to use a light source with low infrared radiation for optimal
operations of the colour sensor.
