Time-of-flight ranging sensor bring multi-object detection to mobile devices: Patented silicon and module level architectures in the VL53L1 sensor adds optical lenses to the FlightSense technology based sensor modules from STMicroelectronics.
The third-generation laser-ranging sensor boosts core performance while introducing multi-target detection, cover-glass crosstalk immunity at long distance, and programmable multi-zone scanning. According to the company, these advances deliver new levels of sensor performance to robotics, user detection, drones, IoT, and wearable applications.
