VL53L0X time-of-flight ranging sensor module Key benefits and features - Fully integrated time-of-flight sensor with built-in infrared emitter for compact, streamlined installation. - Ranging measurements are provided over a standard I2C interface, which also serves to configure sensor settings. - Two additional pins for practical control: a shutdown input to power down the device when not in use, and an interrupt output to signal distance events to your main controller. - Strong performance across varying conditions: best-case range accuracy within about ±3%, with typical performance degrading to over ±10% in less optimal environments. - Flexible power and distance capability: operating from 2.6 V to 5.5 V, with a maximum sensing distance of 2 meters. - New-generation sensor design in a compact package suitable for space-constrained applications. What it solves for you - Simplified sensor integration: an all-in-one ranging solution with a single I2C bus readout plus straightforward configuration controls. - Reliable distance data for small form-factor devices, enabling precise obstacle detection, proximity sensing, and presence detection without bulky hardware. - Flexible operation for battery-powered and low-voltage systems thanks to a wide supply voltage range. - Efficient system design with low-pin-count control (shutdown and interrupt) to manage power and event handling.
