Description

The PONO TSD20 leverages Direct Time-of-Flight (DTOF) technology to measure the round-trip time of a modulated infrared light pulse, providing accurate distance data independent of target color or reflectivity. This principle ensures reliable performance in varying lighting conditions, with a specified immunity up to 100,000 Lux.

Operating from a 3.0V to 3.6V DC supply, the module is optimized for low-power embedded systems. Its accuracy is ±5cm for distances under 5 meters and 1% of the measured distance beyond 5 meters, with a 1mm resolution. The sensor is rated for operation in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C, making it suitable for both indoor and challenging outdoor environments.

Key Features

  • Advanced DTOF (Direct Time-of-Flight) sensing core.
  • Wide measurement range from 5 cm to 20 meters.
  • High update rate of 200Hz enables dynamic motion tracking.
  • Excellent ambient light rejection (100kLux) for stable outdoor operation.
  • Dual-protocol interface: Configurable UART (TTL) and I2C communication.
  • Low-voltage operation (3.0V–3.6V) for battery-powered devices.
  • Compact form factor (21mm x 15mm) and minimal weight (~2g).
  • Extended operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C.

Applications

  • Obstacle detection and avoidance for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and drones.
  • Precision docking and positioning in automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems.
  • Object presence and level detection in industrial automation and logistics.
  • Gesture recognition and human-machine interface (HMI) development.
  • Volume measurement and bin picking in robotic vision systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between UART and I2C interface on the TSD20 sensor?

The TSD20 module supports both UART (TTL serial) and I2C communication protocols, selectable via configuration. UART offers simple point-to-point communication, while I2C allows multiple sensors to share the same bus. The default baud rate for UART is typically 115200bps, and the I2C address is configurable for system integration with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

What is the power supply requirement and current consumption?

The sensor requires a regulated DC supply voltage between 3.0V and 3.6V. Exceeding 3.6V can damage the module. While the exact current draw isn't specified in the provided data, typical DTOF sensors in this class consume tens to low hundreds of milliamps during active measurement, making them suitable for battery-powered applications with proper power management.

How accurate is the sensor at its maximum range of 20 meters?

For distances of 5 meters and beyond, the sensor's accuracy is 1% of the measured distance. Therefore, at the full 20-meter range, the accuracy is typically ±20cm. For shorter distances under 5 meters, a higher precision of ±5cm is guaranteed. The sensor's performance remains stable under strong ambient light up to 100,000 Lux.

Can this sensor be used outdoors or in bright sunlight?

Yes, the TSD20 is designed with strong ambient light immunity rated at 100 kLux, which allows it to operate reliably in most outdoor conditions, including indirect sunlight. However, direct exposure to intense, focused sunlight on the receiver may still cause saturation, so optimal mounting to avoid direct sun ingress is recommended for critical applications.
