Electrostatic precaution

Figure 9. Electrostatic logo

You should exercise electrostatic precautions, including using ground straps when using the

X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board. Failure to prevent electrostatic discharge could

damage the device.

5.2

Laser considerations

The VL53L0X contains a laser emitter and corresponding drive circuitry. The laser output is

designed to remain within Class 1 laser safety limits under all reasonably foreseeable

conditions including single faults in compliance with IEC 60825-1:2014 (third edition). The

laser output will remain within Class 1 limits as long as the STMicroelectronics

recommended device settings are used and the operating conditions specified in the

datasheet are respected. The laser output power must not be increased by any means and

no optics should be used with the intention of focusing the laser beam.
