Key Differentiators
- Longer ranging distance of up to 4 meters (vs VL53L0CXV0DH/1)
- Higher ranging frequency of up to 50 Hz (vs VL53L0CXV0DH/1)
- Wider operating temperature range (vs VL53L0CXV0DH/1)
Design Notes
Ensure the optical module has a clear line of sight to the target. The cover glass or window must be transparent to infrared light (typically >90% transmittance at 940nm). Avoid placing components that could obstruct the optical path.
Decouple the AVDD pin with a 1uF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the pin. A 0.1uF capacitor in parallel is recommended for high-frequency noise. The supply should be clean and stable to ensure accurate ranging.
Keep the I2C lines (SDA, SCL) short and add pull-up resistors (typically 4.7kΩ) to the supply voltage. Avoid routing high-speed signals near the sensor to prevent interference. The XSHUT pin can be used to power down the sensor when not in use to save power.
Compliance Information
RoHS and REACH compliant per STMicroelectronics product page. AEC-Q100 not applicable for this consumer-grade sensor.
