VL6180
Description
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.
Key Features
- Two-in-one smart optical module - VCSEL light source - Proximity sensor
- Fast, accurate distance ranging - Measures absolute range from 0 to 62 cm max (depending on conditions) - Independent of object reflectance - Ambient light rejection - Cross-talk compensation for cover glass
- Gesture recognition - Distance and signal level can be used by host system to implement gesture recognition - Demo systems (implemented on Android smartphone platform) available.
- Easy integration - Single reflowable component - No additional optics - Single power supply - I2C interface for device control and data - Provided with a documented C portable API (Application Programming Interface)
- Two programmable GPIO - Window and thresholding functions for ranging Proximity sensing module Datasheet - production data
