Product overview
Description
The VL53L7CA is a state of the art, second generation, multizone, Time-of-Flight (ToF), laser-ranging, sensor enhancing the STMicrelectronics' FlightSense product family. Housed in a miniature reflowable package, it integrates a SPAD array, enhanced VCSEL, physical infrared filters, and STMicrelectronics' latest meta-surface optical technology. All this achieves the best ranging performance in various ambient lighting conditions, with a range of cover glass materials. The use of a diffractive optical element above the VCSEL allows a square FoV to be projected onto the scene. The reflection of this light is focused by the receiver lens onto a SPAD array.
This second generation product offers half the typical power consumption, or twice the ranging performance compared to the previous generation.
Unlike conventional IR sensors, the VL53L7CA uses STMicrelectronics' latest generation, direct ToF technology. It allows absolute distance measurement whatever the target color and reflectance. It also provides accurate ranging up to 350 cm and can work at fast speeds (60 Hz). The enhanced design makes it the most power-efficient, high performance, multipoint, miniature, ToF sensor on the market.
With patented algorithms and ingenious module construction, the VL53L7CA is also able to detect multiple objects within the FoV. This sensor has depth information for a quicker touch-to-focus, or minidepth map creation.
