VL53L0X TimeofFlight Distance Sensor Breakout Board The VL53L0X from ST Microelectronics is a performance timeofflight ranging system built into a compact module. Our breakout board makes it simple to integrate this advanced sensor into your projects, addressing challenges with its small package size and 2.8 V operating voltage. Key Features and Benefits: Precise Distance Measurement: Uses ST's FlightSense technology to measure the time it takes for an infrared laser pulse to travel to an object and back, providing accurate ranging results in real time. Compact Lidar Solution: Functions as a tiny, selfcontained lidar system suitable for spaceconstrained applications. Easy Integration: Breakout board design allows straightforward connection to microcontrollers, even those operating at 3.3 V or 5 V, without complex level shifting or finepitch soldering. Digital Interface: Ranging data and configuration are accessible through the I2C (TWI) interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of development platforms. Additional Control Pins: Includes a shutdown pin to power down the sensor when not in use, and an interrupt pin for eventdriven measurement handling. Minimal Footprint: Board is designed to remain as small as possible while still providing all connections, ideal for portable and embedded systems. Technical Attributes: Sensor: ST Microelectronics VL53L0X Operating Voltage: 2.8 V recommended (breakout adapts for 3.3 V and 5 V systems) Package Type: Leadless LGA, mounted on carrier board for easy prototyping Interface: I2C digital communication Additional Pins: Shutdown input, interrupt output Practical Applications: 1. Robotics navigation and obstacle detection, allowing mobile platforms to sense surroundings with millimeterlevel precision. 2. Drones or UAVs for altitude measurement and safe landing guidance. 3. Industrial and consumer devices requiring noncontact distance measurement, such as automated doors or object detection systems. This breakout board for the VL53L0X delivers advanced sensor capability in an easytouse format, making accuracy timeofflight measurements accessible for engineers, educators, and hobbyists alike.
