VL6180X Datasheet Proximity And Ambient Light Sensor

Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics

Overview: VL6180X Proximity and ambient light sensing (ALS) module.

General Description

The VL6180X is the latest product based on ST’s patented FlightSense™ technology.

This is a ground-breaking technology allowing absolute distance to be measured independent of target reflectance.

Instead of estimating the distance by measuring the amount of light reflected back from the object (which is significantly influenced by color and surface), the VL6180X precisely measures the time the light takes to travel to the nearest object and reflect back to the sensor (Time-of-Flight).

Key Features

  • Three-in-one smart optical module.
  • Proximity sensor.
  • Ambient Light Sensor.
  • VCSEL light source.
  • Fast, accurate distance ranging.
  • Measures absolute range from 0 to above 10 cm.
  • Independent of object reflectance.
  • Ambient rejection.
  • Crosstalk compensation for cover glass.
  • Ranging beyond 100mm is possible with certain target reflectances and ambient conditions but not guaranteed.
  • Gesture recognition.
