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 Auto-Focus. Enhances and
speeds-up camera AF system performance,
especially in difficult scenes (low light levels,
low contrast) or fast moving video mode.
Description
The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight
(ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the
smallest package on the market today, providing
accurate distance measurement whatever the
target reflectances unlike conventional
technologies. It can measure absolute distances
up to 2m, setting a new benchmark in ranging
performance levels, opening the door to various
new applications.
The VL53L0X integrates a leading-edge SPAD
array (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes) and
embeds ST’s second generation FlightSense
TM
patented technology.
The VL53L0X’s 940nm VCSEL emitter (Vertical
Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), is totally invisible
to the human eye, coupled with internal physical
infrared filters, it enables longer ranging distance,
higher immunity to ambient light and better
robustness to cover-glass optical cross-talk.
