Overview

The VL53L0CXV0DH/1 is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor from STMicroelectronics, utilizing a 940 nm VCSEL laser and an SPAD array. It integrates an embedded microcontroller and FlightSense technology to provide accurate distance measurements. This compact, single-reflowable component is designed for applications requiring precise proximity and distance sensing up to 2 meters.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers reliable distance measurement up to 2 meters with an accuracy of 3%, even in challenging ambient light conditions, thanks to its 940 nm VCSEL and FlightSense technology. Its embedded optical crosstalk compensation simplifies integration. The compact Optical LGA12 package (4.4 x 2.4 x 1 mm) allows for space-constrained designs.

Applications

Robotics and Automation
