The TCS34725 is equipped with RGB and Pure light detection devices. An IR blocking filter, implemented on-chip and Based on the color sensor photodiodes, reduces the IR spectral portion of the incoming light and enables precise color measurements. Because humans cannot perceive infrared light, the filter provides far more accurate color than other sensors. The sensor also boasts a remarkable dynamic range of 3,800,000:1 and configurable integration time and gain, making it suitable for use behind darkened glass.

 supporting circuits have been added such as a 3.3V regulator to effectively power the module with 3-5VDC and level shifting for the I2C pins to allow them to be utilized with 3.3V or 5V logic.
