Broadcom AFBR-S50MV68B time-of-flight sensor module

The AFBR-S50MV68B Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor has been developed with a special focus on industrial sensing applications for medium distances of typical up to 10 m. The module has an integrated 680 nm laser light source and due to a 1° x 1° emission cone, it can typically use between 1 and 2 pixels, depending on distance and remission of the measured object.
