VL53L0X
VL53L0X Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor is ST’s second generation laser-
ranging module housed in the smallest package on the market today. The VL53L0X is
a fully integrated miniature module which integrates embedded infrared ranging
sensor, VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), couples with internal physical
infrared filters and a leading-edge SPAD array (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes). The
VL53L0x embeds ST’s second generation FightSense
TM
patented technology, has
longer ranging distance, higher rate and accuracy, opening the door to various new
application
VL53L0X can measure absolute distances up to 2m t whatever the target
reflectances unlike conventional technologies. It’s ultra-Low designs supports for
wireless and IOT application.
