LS53LX-S-L8 Light Saber Sensor VL53L8CX

Features

New generation, multizone Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor with low-power and enhanced distance ranging performance

1. Multizone distance measurement capability with either 4x4 or 8x8 separate zones
2. Autonomous low-power mode with interrupt programmable threshold to wake up the host  
3. Ranging up to 400 cm, with enhanced performance under ambient light
4. Multitarget detection and distance measurement in each zone
5. Histogram processing and algorithmic compensation to minimize or remove the impact of cover glass crosstalk
6. Motion indicator for each zone to show if targets have moved and how they have moved
7. Frame rate capability of 60 Hz

Fully integrated miniature module with wide field of view (FoV)

1. New generation, high-power emitter: 940 nm invisible light VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) and integrated analog driver
2. 65° diagonal square FoV using DOEs (diffractive optical elements) on both transmitter and receiver
3. Receiving array of SPADS (single photon avalanche diodes)
4. Low-power microcontroller running firmware
5. Size: 6.4 x 3.0 x 1.75 mm

Easy integration

1. Single reflowable component
2. Requires 1.8 V core supply and 3.3 V AVDD supply
3. Optional 1.2 V or 1.8 V IOVDD interface voltage levels
4. I²C (up to 1 MHz) or SPI (up to 3 MHz) interface
5. Compatible with wide range of cover glass materials
6. Can be hidden behind a dark cover glass
