Product overview

Description

The VL53L0X is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the smallest package on the market today, providing accurate distance measurement whatever the target reflectance, unlike conventional technologies. It can measure absolute distances up to 2 m, 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 patented technology.

The VL53L0X’s 940 nm VCSEL emitter (vertical cavity surface-emitting laser), is totally invisible to the human eye, coupled with internal physical infrared filters, it enables longer ranging distances, higher immunity to ambient light, and better robustness to cover glass optical crosstalk.

  • All features

    • Fully integrated miniature module
      • 940 nm laser VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser)
      • VCSEL driver
      • Ranging sensor with advanced embedded microcontroller
      • 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0 mm
    • Fast, accurate distance ranging
      • Measures absolute range up to 2 m
      • The reported range is independent of the target reflectance
      • Advanced embedded optical crosstalk compensation to simplify cover glass selection
    • Eye safety
      • Class 1 laser device compliant with latest standard IEC 60825-1:2014 - 3rd edition
    • Easy integration
      • Single reflowable component
      • No additional optics
      • Single power supply
      • I²C interface for device control and data transfer
      • Xshutdown (reset) and interrupt GPIO
      • Programmable I²C address
