ams OSRAM AG TMF8805 ToF

The TMF8805 is a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor in a single modular package with associated VCSEL. The TOF device is based on SPAD, TDC, and histogram technology. The device achieves a 2500 mm detection range.

Key features

• Direct ToF technology with high sensitivity SPAD detection
• 20...2500 mm distance sensing at 30 Hz
• On-chip histogram processing
• Industry’s smallest modular OLGA 2.2 x 3.6 x 1.0 mm package

Additional features

• Fast Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) architecture
• Sub-nanosecond light pulse
• 940nm VCSEL Class 1 Eye Safety
• High-performance on-chip sunlight rejection filter and algorithm

Additional Benefits

• Delivers high SNR, wide dynamic range, and no multi-path reflections
• Enables dark and sunlight environment distance measurement within ±5%
• Provides best-in-class resolution ranging mode detection sensing
• Enables accurate distance measurements
• Provides high accuracy, greater distance between cover glass, dynamic cover glass calibration, dirt or smudge removal and crosstalk compensation
• Eye-safety circuitry stops VCSEL driver if VCSEL fault occurs
• Optical filters with algorithm support enable high ambient light resilience
• Reduce board space requirements, enables low-profile system designs in restricted space Industrial Designs

Applications

• Presence detection
• Industrial ranging
• People counting
• Object and collision avoidance
• Fast ranging navigation detection
• Inventory control
• Optical switch
• Laser Detect Auto-Focus (LDAF)
• Low-power system buffering of 3D cameras
