The first application of the 940 nanometer light emitting module in the market, with the advanced infrared filter, VL53L0 has the industry&x27;s best anti-interference performance of ambient light, the impact of environmental light to the minimum. Embedded microcontrollers and digital algorithms can minimize the host processing load and system power consumption in end-product applications.Eric Aussedat, general manager of stmicroelectronics imaging products, said: "stmicroelectronics&x27; technological advances in ToF sensors are bringing a better user experience to tens of thousands of consumers, revolutionising the way they take photos and videos with smartphones and tablets. Stmicroelectronics introduced the first fully integrated ToF ranging smart sensor in 2014, which has since been successfully used by several of the world&x27;s leading oems for laser-assisted autofocus. Today, with the new generation of VL53L0, stmicroelectronics is setting a new performance benchmark for rangefinder products, opening up new opportunities for developers to develop new applications in the smart robotics and Internet of things markets."VL53L0 can complete all the measurement operations in one frame, usually less than 30ms and less than 2 meters. This range-finding capability allows the camera system to focus instantly in both camera and continuous shooting modes, and to maintain the same performance even in low-light or low-contrast scenes, which is a huge challenge for camera systems without ToF technology. The VL53L0 also improves smartphone app performance due to its superior range-finding accuracy, including dual camera depth maps. Stmicro&x27;s VL53L0 module is simple to use (6 valid pins), provides an I2C interface, and comes with a full set of API drivers and technical documentation to make system integration fast and easy. The module package supports the reflow welding process, conforms to the RoHS hazardous material limit standard, and is fully compatible with all kinds of glass covers and appearance design.
