The distance measurement range of VL53L3CX is 2.5cm to 3m. Unlike traditional infrared sensors, the measurement accuracy is not affected by the color or reflectivity of the target object, enabling end product designers to introduce powerful new features into the product, for example, The occupancy detector can ignore unwanted background or foreground objects to achieve correct occupancy detection, or report the accurate distance of multiple targets within the sensor’s field of view.
STMicroelectronics’ histogram algorithm patent can improve the sensor’s immunity to glass cover crosstalk, and can realize real-time stain compensation to prevent external pollution from affecting the accuracy of distance measurement, such as a vacuum working in a dusty industrial environment Vacuum cleaner or other equipment. In addition, the ranging performance under ambient light has also been improved.
In addition, the linearity of the VL53L3CX is also very good, which can improve the accuracy of short-distance measurement, thereby improving the wall tracing, cliff detection and obstacle avoidance capabilities of service robots, vacuum cleaners and other equipment. STMicroelectronics has achieved great commercial success in these markets. . Like all FlightSense sensors, the VL53L3CX also uses a compact all-in-one package design, which can simplify the integration process of the sensor and customer equipment, and low power consumption helps to extend battery life.
ToF sensors bring excellent ranging performance for various application devices, making the occupancy detection of building automation and lighting controllers more reliable, the proximity sensing of IoT endpoint devices more intelligent, the automatic wake-up of portable devices more convenient, and automatic sanitary ware User detection of the device is more robust. The high precision and fast response of ToF sensors also enhance the performance of robots, indoor drones and other devices that have higher requirements for precise motion control.
