Description

The TOF200C module integrates STMicroelectronics’ VL53L0X sensor, a Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging system based on a Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) array and FlightSense technology. It emits a 940 nm infrared laser pulse and measures the time for the reflected light to return, providing accurate distance data independent of target color and surface reflectivity. The module includes optical filtering to minimize interference from ambient light, ensuring stable performance across varying lighting conditions.

Designed for easy integration, the module features a standard I2C digital interface, allowing direct connection to microcontrollers and single-board computers. Its compact form factor, protective cover, and wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C make it suitable for embedded applications in robotics, drones, and industrial automation where reliable proximity and obstacle detection are critical.

Key Features

  • VL53L0X-based Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser ranging sensor with SPAD array.
  • Accurate distance measurement from 3 cm to 200 cm with a 25° field of view.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication interface for the TOF200C VL53L0X module?

The module uses a standard I2C digital communication interface. It operates at 3.3V or 5V logic levels, making it directly compatible with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and STM32. The I2C address is programmable, allowing multiple sensors to be used on the same bus.

What is the effective measurement range and dead zone?

The sensor provides accurate distance measurements from 3 cm up to 200 cm. The region from 0 cm to 3 cm is considered a dead zone where measurements are unreliable due to sensor physics and signal processing limitations.

How does the sensor perform under different lighting conditions?

The module uses a 940 nm infrared laser paired with an optical filter, specifically designed to reject ambient light interference. This FlightSense technology provides stable and accurate readings independent of the target's color or surface reflectivity, even in varying indoor and outdoor lighting.

What is the power requirement for this module?

The module requires a DC supply voltage between 3V and 5V and draws approximately 40 mA during operation. This low power consumption makes it suitable for battery-powered applications such as portable robots, drones, and handheld devices.

Does the module support gesture detection?

Yes, the underlying VL53L0X sensor supports basic 1D gesture detection. By analyzing the distance profile over time, simple gestures like swipes can be recognized, enabling touchless control interfaces for embedded projects.
