Overview

The VL53L4CXV0DH/1 is a high-performance Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor from STMicroelectronics featuring an integrated 940nm VCSEL. It utilizes FlightSense technology to provide accurate distance measurements regardless of target reflectance, reaching distances up to 6 meters in dark conditions.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor features a wide Field of View (FoV) of 18 degrees and maintains high accuracy across a broad temperature range. Its compact 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0 mm package integrates the SPAD array and physical infrared filters to ensure robust performance even under high ambient light levels.

Applications

User Detection
System activation and power management through presence detection in laptops, kiosks, and smart appliances.
Robotics Obstacle Avoidance
Providing fast and reliable distance data for service robots and vacuum cleaners to navigate complex environments.
Industrial Liquid Level Sensing
Non-contact measurement of fluid levels in tanks or containers where traditional float sensors are impractical.
Camera Autofocus Assist
Rapid distance measurement to assist camera systems in low-light or low-contrast scenes.

Getting Started

Integration is streamlined via the X-CUBE-TOF1 software expansion for the STM32Cube ecosystem. Engineers should use the VL53L4CX Ultra Lite Driver (ULD) API for C-based embedded systems to manage initialization, calibration, and ranging sequences.
