ST VL53L0CX
The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the
smallest package on the market today, providing accurate distance measurement whatever
the target reflectance's unlike conventional technologies. It can measure absolute distances
up to 2m, setting a new benchmark in ranging performance levels, opening the door to
various new applications.
The VL53L0X integrates a leading-edge SPAD array (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes) and
embeds ST’s second generation FlightSenseTM patented technology.
The VL53L0X’s 940nm VCSEL emitter (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), is totally
invisible to the human eye, coupled with internal physical infrared filters, it enables longer
ranging distance, higher immunity to ambient light and better robustness to cover-glass
optical cross-talk.
The ST VL53L0CX time of flight range and gesture detection sensor is powered by 3.3V. It is
connected to 1.8V I2C1 bus and GPIO J.
Sensor I2C address: 0x52
