1.3 VL53L8 series Time-of-Flight sensor characteristics
• Laser wavelength : 940 nm
• Invisible laser radiation
• Maximum laser power emitted : 215 mW
• Integration time : 2 ms minimum
1.4 Spacers and covers
The X-NUCLEO-53L8A1 expansion board is delivered with:
• three spacers of 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, and 1 mm height, used to simulate different air gaps between the
VL53L8 and the rectangular-shaped cover glass;
• two twelve-pin headers that allow connecting the two mini PCB of the SATEL boards to the X-
NUCLEO-53L8A1 expansion board through flying wires.
Attention: The VL53L8 is delivered with a liner to prevent potential foreign material from piercing the module holes during
the assembly process. Remove this liner before use.
