STMicroelectronics VL53L1X Time-of-Flight Proximity Sensor IC, 4 m Sensing, 2.6 - 3.5 V, 12 LGA Package

STMicroelectronics VL53L1CXV0FY/1 VL53L1X Time-of-Flight Proximity Sensor IC is a high-performance miniature sensing solution designed for accurate distance measurement up to 4 meters. Engineered for integration into industrial, robotics, and advanced electronic systems, it offers unparalleled ranging performance thanks to its time-of-flight (ToF) technology.

The sensor operates between 2.6 V and 3.5 V and provides reliable digital output in a compact 12 LGA surface-mount package. With a maximum switching frequency of 400 kHz, it enables fast and precise detection of objects and gestures in diverse ambient lighting conditions.

Utilizing a 940 nm Class 1 laser emitter and integrated SPAD receiving array, the VL53L1CXV0FY/1 eliminates dependency on target color and reflectance, ensuring consistent distance measurement across various materials and environments. The programmable region-of-interest (ROI) feature allows tailored field-of-view and multizone operation, making the sensor suitable for complex detection applications, including people tracking, gesture recognition, and obstacle avoidance.

Its typical full field-of-view of 27 degrees and programmable ROI position enable flexible sensor placement and detection coverage. The reflowable package design simplifies integration during PCB manufacturing and assembly. The device also features physical infrared filters and optics for enhanced ambient light immunity and robust ranging performance.

Applications span from user and object detection in IoT devices, service robots, drones, smart shelves, and vending machines, to sanitary and smart building systems. The VL53L1CXV0FY/1 is commonly used for landing assistance, hovering, ceiling detection, gesture-based lighting control, and laser-assisted autofocus in imaging systems.

The sensor is pin-to-pin compatible with VL53L0X, enabling seamless upgrades and migration, and supports fast ranging frequency up to 50 Hz for real-time responsiveness. Certified as compliant with ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 and BS EN 61340-5-1:2007 standards, it guarantees reliable and safe operation in industrial environments.
