The STmicro VL53L5CX is an advanced time-of-flight (ToF) multi-area ranging sensor

VL53L5CX uses the latest generation of direct ToF technology from stmicroelectronics, which enables absolute range measurements regardless of target color and reflectance. It offers accurate ranging up to 400 cm and can operate at high speeds (60 Hz), making it the fastest multi-zone micro ToF sensor on the market.

Multi-area distance measurement up to 8x8 area, 63 ° wide diagonal field of view, can be reduced by software. Using the histogram algorithm patented by stmicroelectronics, VL53L5CX can detect different objects in the field of view. The histogram algorithm can also suppress cover slip crosstalk over 60cm.

Compared with the previous three products, the VL53L5 achieves several breakthroughs: first, the Angle is large, extending to 61 degrees; The second is cutting, up to 16 areas. The details are as follows:

First, the Angle is large: the FOV Angle of ToF products is generally controlled at about 25-27 degrees, and the effective distance of FOV (FOV Angle) at about 25-27 degrees is also coordinated according to the transmit power, receiving capacity and the effective range that the algorithm can bear. With software and hardware enhancements, the Angle can now reach 60 degrees. 60 degrees has two advantages: on the one hand, it covers a larger range of products, especially suitable for slightly larger products, such as TV, big screen, etc. On the other hand, this large Angle can also be programmed. If such a large Angle is not needed, the client can program to obtain the required Angle, which is currently up to 60 degrees. There are many programming methods below which the client can apply.

The second is to achieve multiple areas: can be cut up to 16 areas or more. The VL53L5 is cut into four blocks, or quadrants, each of which can be further cut to 16 or more regions. In the case of the 16 effective regions, each region can independently output its ranging, which represents the initial depth change. The key to multi-depth must be to give the numbers at the same time, and all the numbers come out at the same time to achieve multi-zone. "The 16 numbers are different, and by changing the 16 numbers you can move the hand. Stable gesture recognition in the past, we are more confused, gesture recognition, in fact, on the way to 3D this thing will come naturally to achieve.

The functions of VL53L5CX mainly include: ranging, presence detection, proximity detection, ambient light detection, reflectance detection, multi-region detection and 3D detection.

Based on the above functions, VL53L5CX has a wide range of applications. It mainly includes mobile phones, computers, household robots, smart appliances, smart door locks, access control, transportation, shelves, vending machines, smart buildings, smart agriculture, smart medical care and so on.

Optical cover sheet VL53L5X V2 with more accurate measurement, and play the role of dustproof, protect the sensor, prolong the service life of the sensor, customers can choose their own.
