  • Color Sensor

    ams AG

    The color sensor product family includes both RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and high-accuracy XYZ light sensors for precise color measurement, determination, and discrimination. XYZ sensors are capable of providing xy chromaticity co-ordinates in accordance with the CIE 1931 color map. The ams color sensors include filters to block unwanted IR light in the visible spectral range, enabling highly accurate color measurement. Their high sensitivity coupled with their wide dynamic range make them well suited to continuous color temperature measurement of ambient light in display management systems, and automatic-white-balance assistance in camera applications. Some products have additional IR channels to assist with IR light source identification.

  • Position Sensors

    ams AG

    ams offers a broad range of high-performance position sensors which are suitable for use in industrial, medical, robotics, automotive and consumer applications. Patented technology gives all ams position sensors inherent immunity to external stray magnetic fields, making them highly robust, and lowering system cost because no shielding is needed. ams position sensors are available for use in applications governed by the most stringent safety regulations.

  • VCSEL Light Source

    ams AG

    ams supplies LiDAR systems with specific light sources, called VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser). These VCSELs offer specific advantages over other types of light sources as for instance Edge Emitter Lasers:

  • Signal Converters

    ams AG

    ams signal converters contain four or eight signal channels, and can be dynamically programmed in-process by means of multiple amplification levels. This makes them very well suited for multi-channel sensor systems in applications with dynamic amplification and a high sensor bandwidth. All the converters small: they are available in space-saving (Q)SOP packages or as Chip-on-Board(COB) packages.

  • Time-of-Flight Sensing

    ams AG

    Low-power time-of-flight sensing technology from ams enables host systems to measure distances accurately and at very high speed. Accurate distance measurements are used in various applications including presence detection, user face recognition and advanced cameras.

  • Supervisors

    ams AG

    ams supervisors offer high accuracy and low power consumption. In battery-powered systems in particular, the supply must be monitored in order to perform safe start-up and shut-down operations. For multi-supply applications, power monitoring is essential for safe operation. The ams portfolio of supervisory products provides a comprehensive choice of functions including watchdog, manual reset, and dual, triple and quad voltage supervisors.

  • Light-to-Frequency

    ams AG

    Light-to-Frequency (LTF) sensors convert measurements of light intensity to a digital form for direct interfacing to a microcontroller. The output of the device is a square wave or pulse stream the frequency of which is linearly proportional to the light intensity. LTF converters are designed for applications such as ambient light measurement, light absorption/reflection in products such as white goods, photographic equipment, colorimetry, chemical analyzers and display contrast controls. They may be used in any system that requires a wide dynamic range, and/or high resolution digital measurement of light intensity.

  • LIDAR & Direct Time of Flight

    ams AG

    LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a sensor technology for remote object detection and ranging, using a light source and receiver. Emitted light pulses hit objects, reflect, and return to the LiDAR sensor system where the receiver detects the returning light pulse.

  • LED Drivers

    ams AG

    Highly efficient LED drivers provide optimal performance in general lighting applications and in LED backlighting systems for large flat display panels.

  • Flash Vs. Scan

    ams AG

    A LiDAR system can observe the complete field of view (FOV) at once, called Flash systems. Flash typically works well for short to mid-range (0-100m), and by capturing the complete scene at once also objects with high relative speeds can be detected properly. Another implementation is to focus on a subset of the FOV, consequentially look at the next subsets, until the complete FOV is covered, called Scanning. Scanning can focus the light on the subset instead of the full FOV, and therefore can do object detection at a longer range compared to Flash.
