PUREmodules - VL53L1 Distance Sensor by Pure Engineering

Description

Applications

• User detection (Autonomous low-power mode) to power on/off and lock/unlock devices like personal computers/laptops and the IoT
• Service robots and vacuum cleaners (long distance and fast obstacle detection) Drones (landing assistance, hovering, ceiling detection)
• Smart shelves and vending machines (goods inventory monitoring)
• Sanitary (robust user detection whatever the target reflectance)
• Smart building and smart lighting (people detection, gesture control)
• 1 D gesture recognition\Laser assisted autofocus which enhances the camera autofocus system speed and robustness, especially in difficult scenes (low light and low contrast) and video focus tracking assistance

Features

• Fully integrated miniature module – Size: 4.9x2.5x1.56 mm – Emitter: 940 nm invisible laser (Class1) – SPAD (single photon avalanche diode) receiving array with integrated lens – Low-power microcontroller running advanced digital firmware
• Pin-to-pin compatible with the VL53L0X FlightSense™ ranging sensor
• Fast and accurate long distance ranging – Up to 400 cm distance measurement – Up to 50 Hz ranging frequency
• Typical full field-of-view (FoV): 27 °
• Programmable region-of-interest (ROI) size on the receiving array, allowing the sensor FoV to be reduced
• Programmable ROI position on the receiving array, providing multizone operation control from the host
• Easy integration – Single reflowable component – Can be hidden behind many cover window materials –
• Software driver and code examples for turnkey ranging – Single power supply (2v8) – I²C interface (up to 1 MHz)
  
• Shutdown and interrupt pins
