VL53L3CXV0DH in ST VL53Lx Time-of-Flight Family
The VL53L3CXV0DH family by STMicroelectronics represents the high-performance tier of Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensors, integrating the third generation of FlightSense technology. These sensors utilize an invisible 940nm VCSEL and a high-speed SPAD array to perform distance measurements based on photon travel time. Unlike basic ToF sensors, this family features advanced histogram-based processing, enabling multi-target detection and robust operation under high ambient light conditions for accurate proximity sensing up to 3 meters.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the VL53L3CXV0DH sub-family primarily differ based on packaging configurations, such as the standard optical LGA12 package, and factory calibration parameters. While the core FlightSense silicon remains consistent, specific ordering codes may indicate different reel quantities or minor revisions in the embedded firmware binaries provided by ST to handle histogram data processing on the host microcontroller.
