This advanced optical IC delivers millimeter-accurate distance measurements across multiple zones while operating at ultra-low power. Ideal for space-constrained designs requiring reliable 3D sensing, it features integrated algorithms for enhanced ambient light rejection and motion compensation. Order from PCX for guaranteed authentic components and same-day shipping.
This FlightSense™ sensor utilizes ST’s patented ToF technology with a 940nm VCSEL emitter. It incorporates advanced cross-talk compensation and histogram processing algorithms to maintain accuracy in challenging lighting conditions. The 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0mm package includes an SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) array and embedded microcontroller. Full specifications are available in the datasheet.
STMicroelectronics is a global semiconductor leader with 45+ years of innovation in sensor technologies. Their FlightSense™ product line sets industry benchmarks for optical ranging accuracy, with over 1 billion sensors shipped worldwide. ST’s commitment to quality is evidenced by automotive-grade manufacturing processes applied to consumer components.
Renowned for cutting-edge R&D, ST holds 18,000+ patents and maintains AS9100-certified facilities. Their sensors undergo rigorous stress testing for thermal stability and ESD protection, ensuring reliability in mission-critical applications from consumer electronics to medical devices.
Time-of-Flight (ToF) optical sensors calculate distance by measuring light pulse travel time between emitter and target. Unlike simple IR sensors, ToF technology provides millimeter precision unaffected by surface color or reflectivity. This enables complex spatial awareness in compact form factors without moving parts.
Modern ToF ICs like the VL53L3CX are revolutionizing human-machine interfaces by enabling touchless control, safety features, and environmental mapping. Their low power consumption makes them essential for battery-powered devices, while multi-zone capabilities support advanced robotics and automation systems requiring 3D perception.
Available in industry-standard formats: Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly, Cut Tape (CT) for prototyping, and Digi-Reel® for flexible reel quantities. Specify packaging preference at checkout.
