Description

The VL53L8CX is an 8x8 multizone, ToF ranging sensor, which enhances performance under ambient light with

a reduced power consumption. Based on STMicroelectronics FlightSense technology, the sensor is designed to

provide accurate ranging up to 400 cm with a 65° diagonal FoV.

The VL53L8CX integrates a powerful new generation VCSEL, and two advanced meta-surface lenses. The

hardware is housed in an innovative "all in one" module. This enables a wider variety of high-performance

use-cases, such as low-power system activation, gesture recognition, SLAM for robotics, liquid level monitoring,

and many more.

Thanks to STMicroelectronics' patented algorithms, the VL53L8CX can detect and track multiple targets within

the FoV with a 64-zone depth measurement. The STMicroelectronics' histograms ensure that the cover glass

crosstalk immunity is above 60 cm. Like all ToF sensors based on STMicroelectronics' FlightSense technology,

the VL53L8CX measures an absolute distance regardless of the target color and reflectance.

The VL53L8CX supports SPI and I²C interfaces for high frequency framerates and short boot times.

The VCSEL of the VL53L8CX emits fully invisible 940 nm IR light. Such VCSEL has a Class 1 certification that is

safe for the eyes.
