VL53L3CX in ST VL53Lx Time-of-Flight Family

The VL53L3CX is a high-performance Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor from STMicroelectronics, integrating their third-generation FlightSense technology. It combines a high-performance SPAD array, a 940 nm Class 1 laser emitter, and physical infrared filters to enable accurate distance measurement regardless of target reflectance. Unlike standard proximity sensors, this family provides multi-target detection and advanced distance compensation, making it ideal for complex sensing environments where accuracy and reliability are critical for system performance and user interaction.

Variants in This Sub-Family

The VL53L3CX sub-family primarily consists of the base sensor IC and various development-focused hardware variants. While the silicon remains consistent, the SATEL breakout boards provide engineers with a modular form factor for rapid prototyping and signal integrity testing. Evaluation kits like the X-NUCLEO series allow for integration with the STM32 ecosystem, enabling developers to test software drivers and ranging algorithms before committed PCB layout.
