VL53L0X
Time-of-Flight ranging sensor
Datasheet - production data
Applications
• Access control (system activation and
presence detection)
• Robotics (collision avoidance, wall tracking,
cliff detection)
• Home appliance and Home automation
• Inventory management and liquid level
monitoring
Description
The VL53L0X is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-
ranging module housed in the smallest package
on the market today, providing accurate distance
measurement whatever the target reflectance,
unlike conventional technologies. It can measure
absolute distances up to 2 m, setting a new
benchmark in ranging performance levels,
opening the door to various new applications.
Features
• Fully integrated miniature module
– 940 nm laser VCSEL
– VCSEL driver
– Ranging sensor with advanced embedded
micro controller
The VL53L0X integrates a leading-edge SPAD
array (single photon avalanche diodes) and
embeds ST’s second generation FlightSense
patented technology.
– 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0 mm
• Fast, accurate distance ranging
– Measures absolute range up to 2 m
– Reported range is independent of the
target reflectance
The VL53L0X’s 940 nm VCSEL emitter (vertical
cavity surface-emitting laser), is totally invisible to
the human eye, coupled with internal physical
infrared filters, it enables longer ranging
distances, higher immunity to ambient light, and
better robustness to cover glass optical crosstalk.
– Advanced embedded optical crosstalk
compensation to simplify cover glass
selection
• Eye safe
– Class 1 laser device compliant with latest
rd
standard IEC 60825-1:2014 - 3 edition
• Easy integration
– Single reflowable component
– No additional optics
– Single power supply
– I2C interface for device control and data
transfer
– Xshutdown (reset) and interrupt GPIO
– Programmable I2C address
