STMicroelectronics FlightSense Proximity Sensor VL6180V1NR/1

STMicroelectronics VL6180V1NR/1 FlightSense Proximity Sensor is an advanced sensor development tool leveraging patented Flight Sense™ Time-of-Flight technology to deliver precise absolute distance measurements independent of the target object's reflectance. By measuring the time light takes to travel to the nearest object and back, the sensor overcomes traditional limitations of optical sensors affected by surface color or material.

This compact, two-in-one optical module integrates an IR emitter with a range sensor in a reflow-able package, simplifying integration into electronic devices and development platforms. It achieves reliable distance ranging up to 62 cm under varying conditions.

Key features include ambient light rejection and cross-talk compensation mechanisms, protecting signal integrity when used behind cover glass or in lighting-variable environments. This makes it ideal for embedded electronic applications requiring accurate proximity sensing.

The sensor is fully compliant with RoHS standards and is designed for use within the STMicroelectronics VL6180 FlightSense development kits, providing rapid prototyping capabilities for engineers and developers working on sensor integration, robotics, automation, and IoT devices.

This Sensor Development Tool supports a broad range of industrial, scientific, HVAC, and commercial applications where reliable proximity sensing is critical. The sensor measures absolute range from 0 to 62 cm independently of target reflectance.

Combines an IR emitter and range sensor in a single reflow-able package. Offers ambient light rejection and cross-talk compensation for cover glass applications. Fast and accurate distance ranging improves integration in embedded system designs.

Compliant with RoHS standards ensuring environmental safety. Suitable for development use with VL6180 FlightSense kits for rapid prototyping. Enables cost-effective and optimized optical and mechanical sensor design. Includes features that reduce external interference and enhance signal precision.
