53L0-SATEL-I1 Satellite boards based on VL53L0X ranging and gesture detection sensor Data brief Description Satellite board can be used for easy integration into customer devices and basic gesture detection applications. Thanks to its 2.8V regulator and level shifters, the VL53L0X satellite board can be used in any application with a 2.8 to 5V supply. The PCB section supporting the VL53L0X module is perforated so that developers can break off the mini PCB for use in a 2.8V supply application using flying leads. This makes it easier to integrate into development and evaluation devices due to its small form factor. Features • Two satellite boards, integrating: – VL53L0X 3-in-1 ranging and gesture detection sensor – Regulator: 5 to 2.8V range input voltage (output voltage: 2.8V) – VL53L0X signal interface level shifter • True distance measurement independent of target size and reflectance • Able to function in multi-module applications • Divisible board enabling use as mini-PCB breakout board, easy to integrate in customer device • Allows basic gesture recognition use case May 2016 DocID029226 Rev 1 For further information contact your local STMicroelectronics sales office. 1/4 www.st.com 53L0-SATEL-I1 VL53L0X Overview The VL53L0X 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 VL53L0X precisely measures the time the light takes to travel to the nearest object and reflect back to the sensor (Time-of-Flight). Combining an IR emitter and a range sensor, the VL53L0X is easy to integrate and saves OEMs long and costly optical and mechanical design optimizations. The module is designed for low-power operation. Ranging measurements can be automatically performed at user defined intervals. Multiple threshold and interrupt schemes are supported to minimize host operations. Note: The VL53L0X is delivered with a liner, in order to prevent potential foreign material to penetrate inside the modules holes during assembly process. It must be removed at the latest possible step during final assembly, and anyway before module calibration. Divisible board For 2.8V supply application, the satellite board can be divided along the red dotted line as shown in Figure 1, in order to only use the “mini PCB”, Which is easier to integrate into a customer device due to its small form factor.
