Description
The P-NUCLEO-6283A1 is a complete evaluation kit allowing anyone to learn,
evaluate and develop their application using the VD6283, a color sensor with
advanced light flicker frequency extraction.
The VD6283 (1.83 x 1.0 x 0.55 mm) is the smallest 6-channel, ambient light
sensor (ALS) on the market. Light measurement is fast and accurate thanks to an
individual ADC and readout circuitry for each color channel (Red, Green, Blue, IR,
Clear and Visible). The VD6283 uses hybrid color filters with precise responses
allowing accurate computation of the correlated color temperature (CCT) and Lux
information. The VD6283 can be used for display brightness management or scene
light correction. Additionally, the VD6283 can extract light flickering frequencies from
100 Hz to 2 kHz, including LED square signals.

X-NUCLEO-6283A1 expansion board
The X-NUCLEO-6283A1 expansion board allows the user to test the VD6283 functionality and to program it,
which helps understand how to develop an application using the VD6283. It integrates:
•
a 1.8 V regulator to supply the VD6283 on the expansion board
•
two level shifters to adapt the I/O level to the main board of the microcontroller
•
the necessary connectivity for the application

The NUCLEO-F401RE board has to be programmed to control the X-NUCLEO-6283A1 expansion board. The
required software is available on
www.st.com/en/imaging-and-photonics-solutions/vd6283tx.html.
The X-NUCLEO-6283A1 expansion board and the NUCLEO-F401RE board are connected through the Arduino®
compatible connectors CN5, CN6, CN8, and CN9 (see the figure and tables below).
The Arduino connectors on the NUCLEO-F401RE board support the Arduino Uno Revision 3.
