VL6180X
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.
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 - Distance and signal level can be used by host system to implement gesture recognition - Demo systems available.
- Ambient light sensor - High dynamic range - Accurate/sensitive in ultra-low light - Calibrated output value in lux
- Easy integration - Single reflowable component - No additional optics or gasket - Single power supply - I2C interface for device control and data Datasheet - production data
- Two programmable GPIO - Window and thresholding functions for both ranging and ALS
