Document Feedback AS7265x Multispectral Chipset Hardware Description Hardware Description The AS7265x Multispectral Chipset board by default consists of the UART interface, the LDO for 3.3V supply, AS72651/AS72652/AS72653 devices with associated flash memory, and the programming header for the flash memory. If you would like to evaluate AS7265x Multispectral Chipset products with an I C interface, the board also has the option for that.
Document Feedback AS7265x Multispectral Chipset Hardware Description Figure 4 shows the positions of the sensors, LEDs and interfaces on the sensor board. Compare these components with their given details in the schematics in chapter 5. The following chapters describe the main components of the AS7265x Multispectral chipset.

Document Feedback AS7265x Multispectral Chipset Hardware Description One sensor device is the master in the local network and realizes the host and master/slave communication nearly in real-time (see Figure 3 and Figure 5). Therefore, a 3 x 6 = 18 spectral filter solution as “multiple spectral chipset”...
Document Feedback AS7265x Multispectral Chipset Hardware Description Figure 6: Spectral Filter Curves of the Sensor System AS7265x Multiple Spectral Chipsets Power Supply The AS7265x Multispectral Chipset board operates with the MicroUSB cable that connects to personal computer. The onboard LDO converts 5V USB power to 3.3V for the chipsets. Interface to Controller AS7265x Multispectral Chipset board by default has UART interface to a controller.
Diffusor of Tsujiden like D121UP have been successfully tested at ams. If in the application diffused light, e.g. used by a reflective surface, no additional diffuser is required.
Using the AS7265x chipset requires the use of a sensor device specific firmware. This firmware in the latest available version was loaded into a serial flash AT25SF041. A list of ams tested serial flash memories can be found in the ams application note “Serial flash programming and update” as well as an overview for the existing firmware versions and their possibility for uploading for first time or as update.
AS7265x Multispectral Chipset Software Description Software Description The following chapters describes the evaluation of AS7265x Multispectral Chipset with ams Spectral Sensor Dashboard application running on a personal computer system. Operation After the installation, click “ams_Spectral_Sensor_Dashboard_x.x.x.tbc” file provided with the kit to launch the Dashboard software.

Document Feedback AS7265x Multispectral Chipset Software Description Click the button to enable a display of continuously update metrics. If “Stop After” is not used, which is the sample limit, sampling will not stop. ● The “LED0” control sets AS72651 indicator LED current to on (1mA) or off as desired. It cannot be set once continuous sampling is set so should be setup prior.
