With a 90° diagonal area of view, the VL53L7CX distance sensor from ST brings lifelike situational consciousness to purposes like sensible tools and robots. The ultrawide area of view is among the trade’s greatest and 33% bigger than ST’s previous-generation sensor. Diffractive optical parts on each the transmitter and receiver allow a 60°×60° sq. area of view.
The VL53L7CX time-of-flight sensor supplies a matrix of 8×8 zones (64 zones) and measures distance to a number of objects in every zone at as much as 350 cm. Linearity is constant when measuring distance to things as shut a 2 cm. Histogram algorithms guarantee cowl glass ‘smudge’ immunity past 60 cm.
In low-power mode, the VL53L7CX sensor consumes simply 5.4 mW. It may additionally function in autonomous mode, which permits the host system to energy down and wake solely when a threshold worth is reached. Thresholds embody distance to nearest object, sign price, and detection of movement.
In manufacturing now, the VL53L7CX sensor is available in a 6.4×3.0×1.6-mm optical LGA16 bundle, priced from $3.60 for prototyping.
