VL53L0X Worlds smallest Time-of-Flight ranging and gesture detection sensor Datasheet - production data Applications User detection for personal computers/ laptops/tablets and IoT (energy saving) Robotics (obstacle detection) White goods (hand detection in automatic faucets, soap dispensers etc.) 1D gesture recognition. Laser assisted autofocus. Enhances and speeds up camera autofocus system Features performance, especially in difficult scenes (low Fully integrated miniature module light levels, low contrast) or fast moving video 940 nm laser VCSEL mode. VCSEL driver Ranging sensor with advanced embedded Description micro controller The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0 mm (ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the Fast, accurate distance ranging smallest package on the market today, providing Measures absolute range up to 2 m accurate distance measurement whatever the target reflectances unlike conventional Reported range is independent of the technologies. It can measure absolute distances target reflectance up to 2m, setting a new benchmark in ranging Advanced embedded optical cross-talk performance levels, opening the door to various compensation to simplify cover glass new applications. selection The VL53L0X integrates a leading-edge SPAD Eye safe array (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes) and Class 1 laser device compliant with latest TM rd embeds STs second generation FlightSense standard IEC 60825-1:2014 - 3 edition patented technology. Easy integration Single reflowable component The VL53L0Xs 940 nm VCSEL emitter (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), is totally invisible No additional optics to the human eye, coupled with internal physical Single power supply infrared filters, it enables longer ranging I2C interface for device control and data distances, higher immunity to ambient light, and transfer better robustness to cover glass optical crosstalk.
