ams launched the AS7265X, a highly cost-effective 18-channel multispectral sensor solution, opening the door to a wide range of new spectral sensing applications.
The 18-channel 3-chip calibrated visible through near-infrared chipset is ideal for emerging spectral sensing applications such as horticulture, fluid quality/spectral component analysis and complex spectral identification, including anti-counterfeiting and authentication. Today’s announcement brings the new 2017 offerings from the AS726x multispectral sensing products to 4 unique solution sets, including 6-channel visible, near-IR, true color and 18-channel family members.
The AS7265x chipset consists of 3 highly integrated 6-channel sensor devices, each only 4.5 x 4.7 x 2.5mm, in efficient land-grid array packages with integrated apertures. The master-slave-slave architecture appears as a single logical device, simplifying system integration and decreasing time to market. The 18-channels span wavelengths from 410 to 940nm with 20nm filter widths.
