Overview

The VL53L4CDV0DH/1 is a high-accuracy Time-of-Flight (ToF) proximity sensor from STMicroelectronics designed for short-range measurements up to 1300mm. It integrates a SPAD array, physical infrared filters, and VCSEL optics to provide precise distance data regardless of the target's color or reflectance.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers high-speed operation up to 100Hz and functions reliably under ambient light conditions thanks to its 940nm emitter. Its compact 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0mm LGA package and low power consumption make it ideal for battery-powered or space-constrained embedded designs.

Applications

Gesture Recognition
Low-latency detection of hand movements for touchless interfaces in consumer and industrial panels.
Robotic Obstacle Avoidance
Reliable proximity sensing for small mobile robots and drones to prevent collisions in indoor environments.
Occupancy Detection
Automated lighting and power management by sensing the presence of users at a desk or kiosk.
Liquid Level Sensing
Non-contact measurement of liquid levels in small containers or dispensers.

Getting Started

Developers can evaluate the sensor using the X-NUCLEO-53L4A1 expansion board paired with an STM32 Nucleo-64 development platform. The STSW-IMG026 API provides C-language drivers and example code compatible with most microcontrollers via an I2C interface.
