STMicroelectronics VL53L0X
Ultra-small ranging sensor
EBV Elektronik presents the VL53L0X as a new generation Time-of-Flight laser-ranging module housed in a very compact package and offering excellent ranging performance levels.VL53L0X can measure absolute distances up to 2m, independent of target reflectance in less than 30ms. The VL53L0X is based on Time-of-Flight principle coupled with a leading-edge SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes) array and implementing ST’s second generation FlightSenseTM patented technology.

Satellite: mini-PCB with VL53L0X for easy integration into customers devices
Satellite board can be used for easy integration into customer devices and basic gesture detection applications.Thanks to its 2.8V regulator and level shifters, the VL53L0X satellite board can be used in any application with a 2.8 to 5V supply.The PCB section supporting the VL53L0X module is perforated so that developers can break off the mini PCB for use in a 2.8V supply application using flying leads. This makes it easier to integrate into development and evaluation devices due to its small form factor.
