VL53L1CXV0FY in ST VL53Lx Time-of-Flight Family
The VL53L1CXV0FY belongs to the STMicroelectronics FlightSense Time-of-Flight (ToF) product family. Utilizing SPAD technology and an integrated 940nm laser emitter, this sensor provides accurate distance measurement regardless of target reflectance. It is primarily used for long-range ranging up to 4 meters, multi-zone detection, and presence sensing in demanding embedded environments. Unlike traditional IR sensors, it measures the travel time of photons for precise millimeter-level accuracy.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the VL53L1CX sub-family typically differ in their specialized firmware configurations and optical window optimizations. Some variants are tailored for specific application profiles, such as high-speed short-range gesture tracking versus long-range industrial ranging. Packaging remains consistent across the FY series, though tape-and-reel quantities and minor revision codes may vary depending on the specific manufacturing batch or automotive qualification status.
