VL6180 Datasheet (STMicroelectronics)

VL6180, Proximity sensor

The VL6180 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
