AFBR-S50MX85I
Overview
The AFBR-S50MX85I is a multi-pixel Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor designed for high-speed distance measurement and 3D motion detection. Based on an 850nm laser source, it provides an unambiguous range up to 100m in specific modes and operates at frame rates up to 3 kHz for real-time applications. The module integrates a calibrated clock and ambient light suppression to maintain accuracy in challenging environmental conditions.
Why Choose This Part
The sensor offers an impressive measurement range from 50mm to 6m with 2 percent accuracy and exceptional speed up to 3 kHz. Its integrated SPI interface and calibrated internal clock source simplify the digital hardware design while providing robust ambient light suppression for reliable outdoor and indoor operation.
Applications
Getting Started
Connect the module to a microcontroller via the 4-wire SPI interface, ensuring a stable 5V power supply. Broadcom provides an API and software development kit (SDK) to handle the complex ToF algorithms and pixel data processing. Engineers should prioritize thermal dissipation and optical window cleanliness to maintain the reported 33 mA typical run current and measurement precision.
