VL53L0X(2016) Datasheet - STMicroelectronics

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.

FEATUREs
• Fully integrated miniature module
   – 940nm Laser VCSEL
   – VCSEL driver
   – Ranging sensor with advanced embedded
      micro controller
   – 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0mm
• Fast, accurate distance ranging
   – Measures absolute range up to 2m
   – Reported range is independent of the
      target reflectance
   – Operates in high infrared ambient light
      levels
   – Advanced embedded optical cross-talk
      compensation to simplify cover glass
      selection
• Eye safe
   – 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

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.
