VL53L0X ranging module

VL53L0X is a new generation of time-of-flight (ToF) laser ranging module (different from traditional technology). It adopts the smallest package currently on the market and can provide accurate distance measurement regardless of the target reflectivity. It can measure absolute distances up to 2m, setting a new benchmark for ranging performance levels and opening the door to a variety of new applications. The VL53L0X integrates a leading SPAD array (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) and embeds ST’s second-generation FlightSense™ patented technology. The VL53L0X's 940nm VCSEL emitter (vertical cavity surface emitting laser) is completely invisible to the human eye. Coupled with the built-in physical infrared filter, it has a longer ranging distance, stronger immunity to ambient light, and is resistant to cover sheets. The optical crosstalk has better stability.
