TCS3404, TCS3414
Digital Color Sensors
General Description
The TCS3404 and TCS3414 digital color light sensors are
designed to accurately derive the color chromaticity and
illuminance (intensity) of ambient light and provide a digital
output with 16-bits of resolution. The devices include an
8 × 2 array of filtered photodiodes, analog-to-digital converters,
and control functions on a single monolithic CMOS integrated
circuit. Of the 16 photodiodes, 4 have red filters, 4 have green
filters, 4 have blue filters, and 4 have no filter (clear). With the
advanced patent pending in-package trim capability,
device-to-device and system-to-system tolerance can be
minimized allowing very precise repeatability to be attained.
A synchronization input (SYNC) provides precise external
control of sensor integration allowing the internal conversion
cycles to be synchronized to a pulsed light source. Furthermore,
the synchronization feature supports the following advanced
modes of operation to maximize flexibility across a broad range
of hardware systems:
1. sync for one internal-time cycle, and
2. accumulate for specified number of pulses.
The device also supports free-running and
serial-bus-controlled integration modes if precise coupling
between the sensor and light source is not required.
Four parallel analog-to-digital converters (ADC) transform the
photodiode currents to an SMBus (TCS3404) or I 2C (TCS3414)
digital output that, in turn, can be input to a microprocessor.
The RGB values can be read in a single read cycle to minimize
the number of read command protocols defined in the
communication interface. The slave address for this device is
39h (0111001b). A single SMB-Alert style interrupt (TCS3404) as
well as a single traditional level-style interrupt (TCS3414) can
be dynamically configured for any one of the four channels
including a corresponding high/low threshold setting. The
interrupt will remain asserted until the firmware clears the
interrupt.
The TCS3404/14 devices can help
1. automatically adjust the display brightness of a
backlight to extend battery, increase lamp life, and
provide optimum viewing in diverse lighting
conditions,
2. white-color balance display panel and/or captured
images in diverse lighting conditions, and
3. manage RGB LED backlighting to maintain color
consistency over a long period of time.

TCS3404, TCS3414 − General Description
These devices are also ideal in controlling keyboard
illumination in low ambient light conditions. Chromaticity
coordinates (x,y) can be used to derive color temperature for
the purpose of white-color balancing of displays and/or
captured images. Illuminance, in lux, can be used to
approximate the human eye response of ambient light and to
manage exposure control in digital cameras. The TCS3404/14
devices are ideal in notebook/tablet PCs, LCD monitors,
flat-panel televisions, cell phones, and digital cameras.
Additional applications include street light control, security
lighting, sunlight harvesting, and automotive instrumentation
clusters.

Note(s):
1. At shorter integration times and/or higher Prescale settings, the device will reach saturation of the analog section before the digital
count reaches the maximum 16-bit value. The worst-case (lowest) analog saturation value can be obtained using the formula: Analog
saturation = (fosc(min) ×Tint) ÷ Prescale, where Fosc(min) is the minimum oscillator frequency in Hz, and tint is the actual integration
time (internal, manually-timed, or sync-generated) in seconds.
2. Gain is controlled by the gain register (07h) described in the Register section.
3. Measurements taken when the Photodiode field value in the Photodiode Register (06h) is 00b and when the Prescaler field value
in the Gain Register (07h) is 000b.
4. The full scale ADC count value is slew-rate limited for short integration times and is limited by the 16-bit counter for long integration
times. The nominal transition between the two regions is t int = 65535/5000 = 13.1ms.

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Principles of Operation
Principles of Operation
Analog-to-Digital Converter
The TCS3404/14 contains four integrating analog-to-digital
converters (ADC) that integrate the currents from the four
photodiodes (channel 1 through channel 4). Integration of all
four channels occurs simultaneously, and upon completion of
the conversion cycle the conversion results are transferred to
the channel data registers, respectively. The transfers are
double-buffered to ensure that invalid data is not read during
the transfer. After the transfer, the device automatically begins
the next integration cycle.
There are two ways to control the integration cycles: internally
timed and externally timed. Internally-timed integration cycles
can either be continuous back-to-back conversions or can be
externally triggered as a single event using the SYNC pin.
Externally-timed integrations can be controlled by setting and
clearing a register bit (i.e. ADC_EN in Control Register) using the
serial interface, or by 1 or more pulses input to the SYNC pin.
Integration options are configured through the Timing Register
(see Timing Register (01h) for more information).
Digital Interface
Interface and control of the TCS3404/14 is accomplished
through a two-wire serial interface to a set of registers that
provide access to device control functions and output data. The
serial interface is compatible with System Management Bus
(SMBus) versions 1.1 and 2.0, and I 2C bus Fast-Mode.
The TCS3404/14 device supports a single slave address outlined
in Figure 24. Additional devices shown in the Ordering
Information support additional I 2C slave addresses for systems
requiring more than one device.

Note(s):
1. The slave and SMB Alert addresses are 7 bits. Please note the SMBus and I 2C
protocols on the following pages. A read/write bit should be appended to
the slave address by the master device to communicate properly with the
device.

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Principles of Operation
Interrupt
Although the ADC channel data registers can be read at any
time to obtain the most recent conversion value, in some
applications, periodic polling of the device may not be
desirable. For these types of applications, the device supports
a variety of interrupt options allowing the user to configure the
device to signal when a change in light intensity has occurred.
High and low threshold registers allow a range of light levels to
be defined, outside of which the device generates an interrupt.
A persistence setting allows the user to specify a time duration
that the measured value must remain outside of the defined
range before generating an interrupt. The interrupt function
can be assigned to any one of the four ADC color channels.
See Interrupt Control Register (02h) for more information on
configuring the interrupt functions.
SMBus and I 2 C Protocols
Each Send and Write protocol is, essentially, a series of bytes. A
byte sent to the TCS3404/14 with the most significant bit (MSB)
equal to 1 will be interpreted as a COMMAND byte. The lower
four bits of the COMMAND byte form the register select address
(see Figure 24), which is used to select the destination for the
subsequent byte(s) received. The TCS3404/14 responds to any
Receive Byte requests with the contents of the register specified
by the stored register select address.
The TCS3404/14 implements the following protocols of the SMB
2.0 specification:
• Send Byte Protocol
• Receive Byte Protocol
• Write Byte Protocol
• Write Word Protocol
• Read Word Protocol
• Block Write Protocol
• Block Read Protocol
The TCS3404/14 implements the following protocols of the I2C
specification:
• I 2C Write Protocol
• I 2C Read (Combined Format) Protocol
When an SMBus Block Write or Block Read is initiated
(see description of Command Register), the byte following the
COMMAND byte is ignored but is a requirement of the SMBus
specification. This field contains the byte count (i.e. the number
of bytes to be transferred). The TCS3404 (SMBus) device ignores
this field and extracts this information by counting the actual
number of bytes transferred before the Stop condition is
detected.
Page 16
Document Feedback
ams Datasheet
[v1-00] 2015-Nov-11
TCS3404, TCS3414 − Principles of Operation
When an I 2C Write or I 2C Read (Combined Format) is initiated,
the byte count is also ignored but follows the SMBus protocol
specification. Data bytes continue to be transferred from the
TCS3414 (I 2C) device to Master until a NACK is sent by the
Master.
The data formats supported by the TCS3404 and TCS3414
devices are:
• Master transmitter transmits to slave receiver
(SMBus and I2C):
• The transfer direction in this case is not changed.
• Master reads slave immediately after the first byte
(SMBus only):
• At the moment of the first acknowledgment
(provided by the slave receiver) the master
transmitter becomes a master receiver and the slave
receiver becomes a slave transmitter.
• Combined format (SMBus and I 2C):
• During a change of direction within a transfer, the
master repeats both a START condition and the slave
address but with the R/W bit reversed. In this case, the
master receiver terminates the transfer by generating
a NACK on the last byte of the transfer and a STOP
condition.
For a complete description of SMBus protocols, please review
the SMBus Specification at www.smbus.org/specs. For a
complete description of the I 2C protocol, please review the NXP
I 2C design specification at www.i2c-bus.org/references.

Note(s):
1. An I 2C block transaction will continue until the Master sends a stop condition. See Figure 30 and Figure 31. Unlike the I2C protocol,
the TCS3404/14 SMBus read/write protocol requires a Byte Count. All eight ADC Channel Data Registers (10h through 17h) can be
read simultaneously in a single SMBus transaction. This is the only 64-bit data block supported by the TCS3404 SMBus protocol. The
TRANSACTION field must be set to 10, and a read condition should be initiated with a COMMAND CODE of CFh. By using a COMMAND
CODE of CFh during an SMBus Block Read Protocol, the TCS3404 device will automatically insert the appropriate Byte Count (Byte
Count = 8) as illustrated in Figure 30. A write condition should not be used in conjunction with the 0Fh register.
2. Only the Send Byte Protocol should be used when clearing interrupts.

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Principles of Operation
Interrupt Control Register (02h)
The Interrupt Register controls the extensive interrupt
capabilities of the device. The open-drain interrupt pin is active
low and requires a pullup resistor to V DD in order to pull high
in the inactive state. Using the Interrupt Source Register (03h),
the interrupt can be configured to trigger on any one of the four
ADC channels. The TCS3404/14 permits both SMB-Alert style
interrupts as well as traditional level style interrupts. The
Interrupt Register provides control over when a meaningful
interrupt will occur. The concept of a meaningful change can be
defined by the user both in terms of light intensity and time, or
persistence of that change in intensity. The value must cross
the threshold (as configured in the Threshold Registers 08h
through 0Bh) and persist for some period of time as outlined in
the table below.
When a level Interrupt is selected, an interrupt is generated
whenever the last conversion results in a value outside of the
programmed threshold window. The interrupt is active-low and
remains asserted until cleared by writing an 11 in the
TRANSACTION field in the Command Register.
In SMB-Alert mode, the interrupt is similar to the traditional
level style and the interrupt line is asserted low. To clear the
interrupt, the host responds to the SMB-Alert by performing a
modified Receive Byte operation, in which the Alert Response
Address (ARA) is placed in the slave address field, and the
TCS3404/14 that generated the interrupt responds by returning
its own address in the seven most significant bits of the receive
data byte. If more than one device connected on the bus has
pulled the SMBAlert line low, the highest priority (lowest
address) device will win control of the bus during the slave
address transfer. If the device loses this arbitration, the
interrupt will not be cleared. The Alert Response Address is 0Ch.
When INTR = 11, the interrupt is generated immediately
following the SMBus write operation. Operation then behaves
in an SMB-Alert mode, and the software set interrupt may be
cleared by an SMB-Alert cycle.

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Principles of Operation
Gain Register (07h)
The Gain Register provides a common gain control adjustment
for all four parallel ADC output channels. Two gain bits [5:4] in
the Gain Register allow the relative gain to be adjusted from 1×
to 64× in 4× increments. The advantage of the gain adjust is to
extend the dynamic range of the light input up to a factor of
64× before analog or digital saturation occurs. If analog
saturation has occurred, lowering the gain sensitivity will likely
prevent analog saturation especially when the integration time
is relatively short. For longer integration times, the 16-bit
output could be in digital saturation (64K). If lowering the gain
to 1× does not prevent digital saturation from occurring, the
use of PRESCALER can be useful.
The PRESCALER is 3 bits [2:0] in the Gain Register that divides
down the output count (i.e. shifts the LSB of the count value to
the right). The PRESCALER adjustment range is divide by 1 to
64 in multiples of 2.
The most sensitive gain setting of the device would be when
GAIN is set to 11b (64×), and PRESCALER is set to 000b (divide
by 1). The least sensitive part setting would be GAIN 00 (1×) and
PRESCALER 110 (divide by 64). If the part continues to be in
digital saturation at the least sensitive setting, the integration
time can be lowered (see Timing Register (01h) section).

Interrupt Threshold Register (08h - 0Bh)
The Interrupt Threshold Registers store the values to be used
as the high and low trigger points for the comparison function
for interrupt generation. The high and low bytes from each set
of registers are combined to form a 16-bit threshold value. If
the value generated by the Interrupt Source Register (03h)
converges below or equal to the low threshold specified, an
interrupt is asserted on the interrupt pin. If the value generated
by Interrupt Source Register (03h) converges above the high
threshold specified, an interrupt is asserted on the interrupt
pin. Registers LOW_THRESH_LOW_BYTE and LOW_THRESH_
HIGH_BYTE provide the low byte and high byte, respectively, of
the lower interrupt threshold. Registers HIGH_THRESH_LOW_
BYTE and HIGH_THRESH_HIGH_BYTE provide the low and high
bytes, respectively, of the upper interrupt threshold. The
Interrupt Threshold Registers default to 00h on power up.

Note(s):
1. The Interrupt Source Register (03h) selects which ADC channel to generate an interrupt and should correspond to the threshold
setting. Both registers should be configured appropriately when setting up an interrupt service routine.
2. Since two 8-bit values are combined for a single 16-bit value for each of the high and low interrupt thresholds, the SMBus Send Byte
protocol should not be used to write to these registers. Any values transferred by the Send Byte protocol with the MSB set would
be interpreted as the COMMAND field and stored as an address for subsequent read/write operations and not as the interrupt
threshold information as desired. The Write Word protocol should be used to write byte-paired registers. For example, the LOW_
THRESH_LOW_BYTE and LOW_THRESH_HIGH_BYTE registers (as well as the HIGH_THRESH_LOW_BYTE and HIGH_THRESH_HIGH_
BYTE registers) can be written together to set the 16-bit ADC value in a single transaction.

The upper byte data registers can only be read following a read
to the corresponding lower byte register. When the lower byte
register is read the upper eight bits are strobed into a shadow
register, which is read by a subsequent read to the upper byte.
The upper register will therefore read the correct value even if
additional ADC integration cycles complete between the
reading of the lower and upper registers.
Note(s): The SMBus Read Word protocol can be used to read
byte-paired registers. For example, the DATA1LOW and
DATA1HIGH registers (as well as the other three individual
register pairs) may be read together to obtain the 16-bit ADC
value in a single transaction.

Synchronization
There are two basic modes of operation for controlling
synchronization: (1) internally timed, and (2) externally timed.
Internally-timed integration cycles can either be continuous
back-to-back conversions or can be externally triggered as a
single event using the SYNC pin. Externally-timed integrations
can be controlled by setting and clearing the ADC Enable in the
Control Register using the serial interface, or by one or more
pulses input to the SYNC pin. Internally-timed integration cycle
times are dependent on the PARAM field value and the internal
clock frequency. Nominal integration times and respective
scaling between integration times scale proportionally as
shown in the PARAM field in Figure 37. See Operating
Characteristics Table notes for detailed information regarding
how the scale values were obtained.
If a particular integration time period is required that is not
listed in the PARAM Integration Time field value, then the
manual timing control feature can be used to manually start
and stop the integration time period by setting
INTEG_MODE=01b. Manual integration is performed as follows:

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Application Information: Software
When the INTEG_MODE field value is set to 10b, an
externally-controlled synchronization input (SYNC) is used to
trigger the start of an integration period. The integration period
starts on the rising edge of the SYNC pulse, triggers a single,
internally-timed integration cycle, and continues until the
Nominal Integration Time, as defined in the PARAM field, is
completed.

5. Read channel data
When the INTEG_MODE field value is set to 11b, the device
integrates from the rising edge of the first pulse until the rising
or falling edge of a subsequent pulse as specified by the SYNC_
EDGE and PARAM field values. See example timing diagrams
below. ADC_EN must be toggled (i.e. from high to low and back
to high again) before the next integration cycle. With this device
feature, the SYNC IN input pin can be used to synchronize the
device with an external light source (e.g. LED).

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Application Information: Software
A synchronization input (SYNC IN) is supported to precisely
start/stop sensor integration and synchronize with the light
source. The TIMING Register (01h) provides two
synchronization modes of operation. The first mode of
operation synchronizes the SYNC IN pin for one integration
cycle as specified in the Timing Register (01h). When the rising
edge of the signal is detected, the TCS3404/14 begins
integration. The second mode accumulates a specified number
of SYNC IN pulses (see Timing Register (01h)) in which the
minimum pulse width is 50μs. A pulse counter is used to count
the rising and falling edges of the pulse(s) and precisely
integrate the light level when the SYNC IN pulse is high.
The following pseudo code illustrates a procedure for reading
the TCS3404/14 device using the synchronization feature:
// Synchronize one integration cycle
// See ”Basic Operation” to power−on and start device
// See ”Configuring the Timing Register” to setup environment
Address = 0x39
//Slave addr − also 0x29 or 0x49
Command = 0x81
//Set Command bit and address Timing Register
Data = 0x21
//Sync one 100ms integration period
//External SYNC IN pulse initiates 100ms integration
Sleep (100)
// See ”Basic Operation” to read Data Registers using Byte or Word Protocol
// Synchronize N number of SYNC IN pulses
// See ”Basic Operation” to power−on and start device
// See ”Configuring the Timing Register” to setup environment
Address = 0x39
//Slave addr − also 0x29 or 0x49
Command = 0x81
//Set Command bit and address Timing Register
Data = 0x30
//Integrate one SYNC IN pulse
//External SYNC IN pulse synchronizes integration

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Application Information: Software
Interrupts
The interrupt feature of the TCS3404/14 device simplifies and
improves system efficiency by eliminating the need to poll the
sensor for a light intensity value. Interrupt mode is determined
by the INTR field in the Interrupt Control Register. The interrupt
feature may be disabled by writing a field value of 00h to the
Interrupt Control Register (02h) so that polling can be
performed.
The versatility of the interrupt feature provides many options
for interrupt configuration and usage. The primary purpose of
the interrupt function is to signal a meaningful change in light
intensity. However, it also be used as an end-of-conversion
signal. The concept of a meaningful change can be defined by
the user both in terms of light intensity and time, or persistence,
of that change in intensity. The TCS3404/14 device implements
two 16-bit-wide interrupt threshold registers that allow the
user to define thresholds above and below a desired light level.
An interrupt will then be generated when the value of a
conversion exceeds either of these limits. For simplicity of
programming, the threshold comparison uses the Interrupt
Source Register (03h) to select which ADC channel
(1 through 4) to generate the interrupt. This simplifies
calculation of thresholds that are based on a percent of the
current light level. For example, it is adequate to use only one
channel (e.g. green channel) when calculating light intensity
differences since, for a given light source, channel values are
linearly proportional to each other and thus each value scales
linearly with light intensity.
To further control when an interrupt occurs, the TCS3404/14
device provides an interrupt persistence feature. This feature
allows the user to specify the length in time of the number of
consecutive ADC channel values for which a light intensity
exceeding either interrupt threshold must persist before
actually generating an interrupt. This can be used to prevent
transient changes in light intensity from generating an
unwanted interrupt. See Figure 38 regarding the number of
timer values provided.
Two different interrupt styles are available: Level and SMBus
Alert. The difference between these two interrupt styles is how
they are cleared. Both result in the interrupt line going active
low and remaining low until the interrupt is cleared. A level style
interrupt is cleared by setting the Interrupt Clear field in the
COMMAND register to 11b. The SMBus Alert style interrupt is
cleared by an Alert Response as described in the Interrupt
Control Register section and SMBus specification.
To configure the interrupt as an end−of−conversion signal so
that every ADC integration cycle generates an interrupt, the
interrupt PERSIST field in the Interrupt Control Register (02h) is
set to 000b. Either Level or SMBus Alert style can be used.

TCS3404, TCS3414 − Application Information: Software
An interrupt will be generated upon completion of each
conversion. The interrupt threshold registers are ignored. The
following example illustrates the configuration of a level
interrupt:
// Set up end−of−conversion interrupt, Level style
Address = 0x39
//Slave address − alternatively 0x29 or 0x49
Command = 0x83
//Interrupt Source Register
Data = 0x01
//Select Channel 2
WriteByte (Address, Command, Data)
Command = 0x82
//Address Interrupt Register
Data = 0x10
//Level style, every ADC cycle
WriteByte (Address, Command, Data)
The following example pseudo code illustrates the
configuration of an SMB-Alert style interrupt when the light
intensity changes 20% from the current value, and persists for
2.5 seconds:
//Assume Interrupt Source as Channel 1
//Read current light level
Address = 0x39
//Slave address − alternatively 0x29 or 0x49
Command = 0xB0
//Set Command bit and SMBus Word read
ReadWord (Address, Command, DataLow, DataHigh)
Channel1 = (256 * DataHigh) + DataLow
//Calculate upper and lower thresholds
T_Upper = Channel1 + (0.2 * Channel1)
T_Lower = Channel1 − (0.2 * Channel1)
//Write the lower threshold register
Command = 0xA8
//Address lower threshold register, set Word Bit
WriteWord (Address, Command, T_Lower.LoByte, T_Lower.HiByte)
//Write the upper threshold register
Command = 0xAA
//Address upper threshold register, set Word bit
WriteWord (Address, Command, T_Upper.LoByte, T_Upper.HiByte)
//Enable interrupt
Command = 0x82
//Address interrupt register
Data = 0x24
//SMBAlert style, Persist 2.5 seconds
WriteByte (Address, Command, Data)
In order to generate an interrupt on demand during system test
or debug, a test mode (INTR = 11) can be used. The following
example illustrates how to generate an interrupt on demand:
// Generate an interrupt
Address = 0x39
//Slave address alternately 0x29 or 0x49
Command = 0x82
//Address Interrupt Control Register
Data = 0x30
//Test interrupt
WriteByte (Address, Command, Data)
//Interrupt line should now be low

The power supply lines must be decoupled with a 0.1 μF
capacitor placed as close to the device package as possible
(Figure 50). The bypass capacitor should have low effective
series resistance (ESR) and low effective series inductance (ESI),
such as the common ceramic types, which provide a low
impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle
transient currents caused by internal logic switching.

Pull-up resistors (R P) maintain the SDA and SCL lines at a high
level when the bus is free and ensure the signals are pulled up
from a low to a high level within the required rise time. For a
complete description of I 2C maximum and minimum R P values,
please review the NXP I 2C design specification at
www.i2c-bus.org/references.
A pull-up resistor (R PI) is also required for the interrupt (INT),
which functions as a wired-AND signal in a similar fashion to
the SCL and SDA lines. A typical impedance value between 10kΩ
and 100kΩ can be used. Please note that while the figure above
shows INT being pulled up to V DD, the interrupt can optionally
be pulled up to V BUS.

Moisture Sensitivity
Optical characteristics of the device can be adversely affected
during the soldering process by the release and vaporization of
moisture that has been previously absorbed into the package
molding compound. To ensure the package molding
compound contains the smallest amount of absorbed moisture
possible, each device is dry-baked prior to being packed for
shipping. Devices are packed in a sealed aluminized envelope
with silica gel to protect them from ambient moisture during
shipping, handling, and storage before use.
CS Package
The CS package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level
of MSL 2 and the devices should be stored under the following
conditions:
• Temperature Range: 5°C to 50°C
• Relative Humidity: 60% maximum
• Floor Life: 1 year out of bag at ambient < 30°C / 60% RH
Rebaking will be required if the aluminized envelope has been
open for more than 1 year. If rebaking is required, it should be
done at 50°C for 12 hours.
FN Package
The FN package has been assigned a moisture sensitivity level
of MSL 3 and the devices should be stored under the following
conditions:
• Temperature Range: 5°C to 50°C
• Relative Humidity: 60% maximum
• Total Time: 12 months from the date code on the
aluminized envelope - if unopened
• Opened Time: 168 hours or fewer
Rebaking will be required if the devices have been stored
unopened for more than 12 months or if the aluminized
envelope has been open for more than 168 hours. If rebaking
is required, it should be done at 50°C for 12 hours.
