Key Differentiators
- Compact optical module with integrated VCSEL and SPAD (vs Broadcom APDS-9960)
- Low power consumption for battery-operated devices (vs VL53L1CXV0FY/1)
- Cost-effective solution for short-range applications (vs VL53L1CXV0FY/1)
Design Notes
Provide a clean 2.8V supply with a 100nF decoupling capacitor placed close to the AVDD pin. The module draws up to 19mA during ranging, so ensure the supply can handle transient currents. A low-dropout regulator is recommended for battery-powered applications.
Place the VL53L0CXV0DH/1 with a clear field of view, ensuring no obstructions in front of the lens. The module should be mounted flush with the enclosure, and a cover glass with high infrared transmittance (e.g., >90% at 940nm) is required. Keep the I2C traces short and add pull-up resistors (typically 4.7kΩ) to SDA and SCL.
Avoid placing the module behind materials that block infrared light, such as dark plastics or glass with low IR transmittance. Ensure the XSHUT pin is pulled high for normal operation, and handle the module with care to avoid damaging the lens. Calibration may be required if the cover glass has significant optical properties.
Compliance Information
