ST VL53L9 Time-of-flight sensor
With more than 2 billion units sold, ST FlightSense technology has revolutionized Time-of-Flight sensor applications with tiny low-power modules capable of ranging distances from a few millimeters to several meters with an excellent accuracy. STMicroelectronics continues to extend this unique portfolio with its latest high-resolution direct ToF solution for key applications like robotics, smart devices, home appliances, and industrial automation but also camera assist and mixed reality.
The VL53L9, is a new direct ToF 3D LiDAR device with a resolution of up to 2.3k zones. Integrating a dual scan flood illumination, unique in the market, the LiDAR can detect small objects and edges and captures both 2D infrared (IR) images and 3D depth map information. It comes as a ready-to-use low power module with its on-chip dToF processing, requiring no extra external components or calibration. Additionally, the device delivers state-of-the-art ranging performance from 5cm to 10 meters.
