GY-53 VL53L0X Laser Time-of-Flight Distance Ranging Sensor Module - Serial & PWM Output
The GY-53 VL53L0X Laser Time-of-Flight (ToF) Ranging Sensor Module provides high-precision, reflectance-independent distance measurement up to 2 meters. Featuring a built-in voltage regulator and level shifter, it operates from 3-5V DC and outputs data via serial UART or PWM for easy integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and other 3.3V/5V microcontroller platforms.
Features
- ST VL53L0X Time-of-Flight laser ranging sensor for accurate, reflectance-independent distance measurement.
- Integrated 3-5V voltage regulator and level shifter for safe operation with 5V and 3.3V logic systems.
- Dual output interfaces: configurable serial UART (default 9600 baud) and PWM for flexible host MCU integration.
- Compact breakout board design (25mm x 16mm) with perforated section for custom mounting or flying lead connections.
- Low-power operation with programmable measurement intervals and interrupt schemes for optimized system performance.

The GY-53 module integrates STMicroelectronics’ VL53L0X, a laser-based Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor that measures absolute distance by calculating the time for emitted infrared light to reflect off a target and return. This patented FlightSenseâ„¢ technology provides precise measurements independent of target color, reflectance, or ambient light interference, unlike traditional IR reflectance sensors. The module includes an onboard low-dropout regulator and level-shifting circuitry, enabling direct connection to 3-5V DC supplies and safe interfacing with both 5V and 3.3V logic microcontrollers.
Designed for low-power embedded applications, the sensor supports user-defined ranging intervals and multiple interrupt schemes to minimize host processor load. The PCB features a perforated section, allowing the VL53L0X satellite board to be separated for integration into space-constrained 2.8V systems. The module outputs distance data via a configurable serial port or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal, providing flexibility for robotics, gesture recognition, and industrial proximity sensing applications.
