TSL230 light-to-frequency converter

[Electronics4you]

Hi All

I have been looking in the datasheet for the TSL230 light-to-frequency converter, and didn't really find, what I was looking for. I want to know, what frequency the output gets at a special wavelenght of light.

Looking at the datasheet (you should have included a link), the output frequency is a function of irradiance (total light power per unit area), and also a function of wavelength. You would probably not be able to measure color, if that is your goal, because of the dependence on irradiance.
