Description:

The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module, providing accurate distance measurement. It can measure absolute distances up to 2m (6.6 ft) with a 1mm resolution.
Ranging measurements are available through the sensor’s I2C (TWI) interface, which is also used to configure the sensor settings. The module has 2 additional pins, shutdown input and an interrupt output.

Specifications:

• Operating voltage: 2.6V – 5.5V
• Active sensor current: 19mA
• Interface: I2C
• 940nm laser VCSEL, VCSEL driver, ranging sensor with advanced embedded micro controller
• Measures absolute range up to 2 meters
• Dimensions: 13mm x 11mm

Pin Specifications:

• VDD: Regulated 2.8 V output. Almost 150 mA is available to power external components. (If you want to bypass the internal regulator, you can instead use this pin as a 2.8 V input with VIN disconnected.)
• VIN: This is the main 2.6 V to 5.5 V power supply connection. The SCL and SDA level shifters pull the I2C lines high to this level.
• GND: The ground (0 V) connection for your power supply. Your I2C control source must also share a common ground with this board.
• SDA: Level-shifted I2C data line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
• SCL: Level-shifted I2C clock line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V
• XSHUT: This pin is an active-low shutdown input; the board pulls it up to VDD to enable the sensor by default. Driving this pin low puts the sensor into hardware standby. This input is not level-shifted.
