Unlike other IR proximity sensors using simple infrared technology, because only the signal strength is measured, the measurement accuracy is usually affected by the reflectivity of the measured object. The FlightSense sensor directly measures the distance between the object and the sensor based on the photon's round trip time. The measurement accuracy is not Affected by the surface properties of the measured object.
Low power consumption and fast ranging performance make the VL53L1X particularly suitable for wall walking, cliff detection, collision avoidance, and hover/landing assistance for UAVs or UAVs. The model enables innovative user-appropriate post-sleep/wake-up capabilities on PCs, notebooks and IoT devices, as well as camera AF assist and gesture recognition. Other target applications include toilets, faucets or hand sanitizers and other sanitary ware automation and vending machines. Inventory management or smart shelf system package counting function.
The fully-integrated miniature VL53L1X module is only 4.9mm x 2.5mm x 1.56mm in size and is ideal for space-constrained applications. The new product is pin-compatible with the previous generation VL53L0X, making it easy to upgrade existing products. In a compact package The new product integrates laser drivers and transmitters, as well as single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) photoreceivers, allowing ST's FlightSense sensors to deliver range-speed and reliability regardless of ratio. In addition, the 940nm non-visible light emitter eliminates The issue of flashing light can be hidden behind the protection window without affecting the ranging performance.
