Description

The Benewake TFS20-L is a miniaturized, single-point LiDAR sensor utilizing direct time-of-flight (dToF) technology for high-precision distance measurement. A pulsed 905nm VCSEL laser signal is emitted and reflected off a target, with the return pulse captured by a high-sensitivity Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) detector. The module calculates distance based on the precise time difference between transmission and reception.

Engineered for stability, the sensor features built-in temperature compensation and maintains reliable performance across an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. Its robust design ensures consistent operation in various ambient light conditions, making it suitable for integration into space-constrained and mobile systems requiring long-range, low-power sensing.

Key Features

  • High-performance dToF LiDAR with SPAD detection for superior signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Wide operating range up to 20 meters, adaptable to target reflectivity and ambient light.
  • Ultra-low power consumption, typically ≤0.35W for battery-sensitive applications.
  • Programmable frame rate from 1Hz to 250Hz (default 100Hz) for flexible data acquisition.
  • Extremely narrow 2° field of view (FOV) for precise, single-point targeting.
  • Compact, surface-mount form factor ideal for integration into drones, robots, and IoT devices.
  • Dual-protocol interface (I2C/UART) simplifies connection to host controllers and systems.
  • Industrial-grade operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C.

Applications

  • Obstacle avoidance and positioning for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), pallet trucks, and drones.
  • Precise level and volume detection in industrial silos, tanks, and liquid storage systems.
  • People flow detection and security perimeter monitoring in smart building and IoT systems.
  • Collision avoidance and positioning for industrial cranes and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
  • Traffic monitoring and vehicle detection at holographic intersections and smart parking facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage for the TFS20-L LiDAR sensor?

The TFS20-L requires a DC 3.3V ±9% power supply. It is critical to adhere to this voltage range to ensure proper operation and prevent damage to the internal VCSEL laser and SPAD detector circuitry.

What communication interfaces does this sensor support?

The module supports both I2C and UART serial communication protocols. The interface is configurable, allowing you to select the protocol that best fits your host system, such as an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or industrial PLC.

How is the sensor's performance affected by ambient light and target color?

Performance varies with target reflectivity and ambient lux. For a 90% reflective target in 0Klux light, the max range is 20m. Under 100Klux or with a 10% reflective target, the maximum range decreases to 9-15 meters, as specified in the datasheet.

Can the data output rate (frame rate) be adjusted?

Yes, the frame rate is programmable. You can select from 1Hz, 20Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz (default), or 250Hz via the I2C or UART command interface, allowing you to optimize between measurement speed and power consumption.

What is the physical size and connector type of the TFS20-L?

The sensor module is extremely compact, measuring just 21mm in length and 15mm in width. It uses a small 0.8mm pitch, 6-pin connector (Model WF08006-01207) for power and data interface.
