DFRobot Fermion TMF8801 ToF Distance Ranging Sensor (20-2500mm) - I2C Interface
The DFRobot Fermion TMF8801 is a high-precision Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance sensor module with a 20-2500mm range, designed for easy integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other 3.3V microcontroller platforms via its I2C interface.
Features
- Wide-ranging ToF sensor with 20mm to 2500mm (2.5m) detection capability.
- High accuracy of ±5% across the full range, independent of object color or texture.
- Integrated 940nm VCSEL emitter meets Class 1 Eye Safety standards.
- On-chip histogram enables dynamic cover glass calibration and crosstalk compensation.
- Compact 21×24.5x3mm module with 2.54mm-8pin breakout for I2C communication.

The TMF8801 sensor operates on the Time-of-Flight principle, measuring the round-trip time of emitted 940nm light pulses to calculate distance with high precision. Its integrated microcontroller and on-chip algorithms handle all signal processing, eliminating the need for external optics or complex calibration. The sensor features robust sunlight rejection filters and a built-in histogram, allowing it to maintain accuracy in both dark and brightly lit environments while compensating for cover glass contamination.
Designed for low-power operation, it requires a 2.7V to 3.3V supply and draws less than 1.5mA, making it suitable for battery-powered and portable applications. The module’s 21° field of view (FOI) focuses on detecting the object closest to the sensor’s center, providing reliable single-zone detection for robotics, automation, and measurement systems.
