1. Introduction
The GP2Y0E series are active optical distance measurement sensors. These sensors measure the distance to an object by
detecting the light spot position of reflection on the detector. It is possible to measure the distance with high accuracy by
adoption of CMOS image sensor. It is not necessary for the customer to calibrate the distance output. The three models have
differing output types and operating voltages. The differences are shown in table.01.

Active or Stand-by states of GP2Y0E02A can be changed by the input voltage (Hardware) in GPIO1 terminal. The states of
GP2Y0E02B can be changed by the register setting (Software) through I2C bus. The states of GP2Y0E03 can be changed by
Hardware and Software. Timing charts of each model are shown in Fig.03. I2C bus timing chart of GP2Y0E02A is shown in
Fig.03a because this communication is used by I2C from the contact pad on the back of board only in case that some data is
written in E-Fuse (refer to 12. E-Fuse Programming, Fig.38)

5. Principle of optical distance measurement sensor
GP2Y0E series is the active type distance measurement sensor
which is based on triangulation. Light spot position of reflection
which is condensed on the optical detector (CMOS image sensor) is
measured. Since the spot position changes with the distance to a
reflective object as shown in Fig.04, the distance to a reflective object
can be calculated by using measured spot position.

D1
6. Notes on using
Since the distance is measured by using the principle of the above,
however, in actual use, please note the following points.
LED
6-1 Emitting Lens and Receiving Lens
Detector
The lens of this device should be kept clean. There are cases that
Fig.04
Fig.04 triangulation
dust, water or oil can deteriorate the characteristics of this device.
Please consider in actual application.
Please don’t wash this sensor because the optical characteristics may be changed. When using this sensor, please make
sure that it is possible to carry out in accordance with the measurement environment because this sensor does not have
chemical resistance.
6-2 Mirror Reflector
The distance between sensor and mirror reflector cannot be measured exactly. Fig.05(a) shows that mirror reflector is
placed to be parallel to the sensor at the distance of D1. Emitting beam with the directional angle shown in Fig.10 is
irradiated at the surface of mirror. Right edge of the ray is detected by detector as shown in Fig.05(a) because the ray is
specular reflection on the mirror. Reflected ray (dashed line) by the scattering reflector at the distance of D2 has same path
as the specular reflection of right edge ray by the mirror at the distance of D1. Therefore, D2 is measured under this
condition. On the other hand, Fig.05(b) shows the mirror reflector is placed to have tilt angle of θ at the distance of D1.
Left edge of the ray is detected by detector as shown in Fig.05(b). Reflected ray by the scattering reflector at the distance of
D3 has same path with the specular reflection of left edge ray by the mirror at the distance of D1. Therefore, D3 is
measured under this condition.
In this way, specular reflection of mirror object has large influence to the light spot position. The light spot position is
changed by the tilt angle between the mirror object and the sensor even if the mirror object is placed at the same distance.

6/38
6-3 Object near the Optical Path
In case that an object is near the optical path, the light spot position may change because a part of reflection by the
reflector may incident in the light receiving portion after reflection by the object near the sensor as shown in reflection A
(dashed line) of Fig.06. In addition, the light spot position may be changed because a part of emitting beam is scattered by
the object near the sensor as shown in reflection B (solid line) of Fig.06. For this reason, it may not satisfy the specification of
the electro-optical characteristic.
GP2Y0E series have the error judgment function that distance output is fixed to maximum value in order to avoid
distance measurement error in case that receiving light spot profile is affected by the object near the sensor. There is case
that distance output is fixed to maximum in case that reflection intensity from A and B is large enough compared with that
from the reflector. Please refer to 11-6 Error Judgment of Distance Measurement for the details.
Please use it after confirming that the distance output does not changed by this object with customer’s product.
6-4 Reflective Object with Boundary Line
In case that reflective object has a boundary line, there is case that
distance can not be measured exactly. Emitting beam is reflected by
the high reflectance portion and low reflection portion when the
reflective object boundary line and the center of optical axis is in
agreement. Fig.07 shows an example case that left side of reflector has
high reflectance and right side has low reflectance. The intensity of
reflection A is larger than that of reflection B as shown in Fig.07.
Measuring distance may have an error because light spot position is
shifted toward reflection A compared with reflection with uniform
reflectance.
At that time, if direction of boundary line and the line between
emitter center and detector center are parallel, it is possible to decrease
deviation of measuring distance.

6-5 Reflective Object Size
For satisfying the specification of the electro optical characteristic, it is necessary to install a flat object vertically to the
emitted light, and it is necessary to reflect the whole emitted light as shown in Fig.09. As shown in the example of
directional angle of emitting beam of Fig.10, the angle is around 6 ° (±3°) where emission becomes 10% of peak. The object
needs to exist in around 10 degrees (±5 degrees) area including the variation of peak position. For example, when the object
is in 50 cm, it is necessary to install the object of at least 9cm diameter parallel to the surface of this sensor as follows.
However above example doesn’t guarantee specification, please use it after confirming with customer’s product.

In case that a part of the reflective object is irradiated by emitting beam, there is case that distance can not be measured
exactly for the same reason of section 6-4 Reflective Object with Boundary Line. In case that whole emitting beam is
reflected by reflective object (not shown in Fig.11), light spot is incidented at the position of reflection A (dashed line) in
Fig.11. However, in case that reflective object is shifted toward emitter side as shown in Fig.11, light spot is incidented at the
position of reflection B (solid line) because a part of emission beam is reflected. Under this condition, light spot is formed at
the position where is shifted toward right side compared with reflection A. So, measured distance becomes smaller than
distance to reflective object as shown in Fig.11.
For above reason, in order to decrease measuring error due to moving direction of reflective object, we recommend to
mount the sensor as shown in Fig.12.

GP2Y0E series have the error judgment function that distance output is fixed to be maximum (64cm) to avoid distance
measurement error. Please refer to 11-6 Error Judgment of Distance Measurement for the details.
6-6 Tilt of Reflective Object
For satisfying the specification of the electro optical characteristic, it is necessary to install a flat object vertically to the
emitted light, and it is necessary to reflect the whole emitted light as shown in Fig.09. There is the case that it is not
possible to measure distance exactly in case that reflective object is installed with tilt angle to the sensor. Fig.13 is shown in
the example case that reflective object is installed with the tilt angle to the sensor. Fig.13(a) is shown that reflective object is
installed with the tilt angle of θ to the axis which the light emitting and receiving lens are arranged. Fig.13(b) is shown in
the example case that reflective object is installed with the tilt angle of φ in the direction perpendicular to Fig.13(a). Fig.14
is shown in the example of tilt angle dependence in case that reflective object (R=90%, matt) is installed at the distance of
50cm from the sensor. The distance output changes in dependence of the tilt angle for θ direction. But the tilt angle
dependence of distance output for φ direction is small. This characteristic is reference data measured by the arbitrarily
extracted sample and not guaranteed. Please use it after confirming with customer’s product.
In case that tilt angle for θis large, there is the case that the light spot size is changed largely compared with
recommendation condition of Fig.09. GP2Y0E series have the error judgment function that distance output is fixed to be
maximum to avoid distance measurement error. Please refer to 11-6 Error Judgment of Distance Measurement for the
details.

6-7 Protection Cover
In case that protection cover is set in front of this sensor, the protection cover shall be recommended to use material which
doesn’t scatter light and be matted finish. And the protection cover which has the most efficient transmittance at the
emitting wavelength range of LED for this product (λ=850nm±70nm). This protection cover is recommended to be flat. This
protection cover shall be recommended to be parallel to the emitter and detector portion. In case that protection cover is set
in front of this sensor, it emits reflected light from this protection cover. If this reflective light reaches in detector portion, the
output distance of this product may be changed. The output distance characteristics of this product may be changed with
according to material (①) or transmittance (②) or the thickness (③) or the distance between the protection cover and this
product (④) or the angle between surface and back (⑤) or the angle between this cover and this sensor (⑥). In case that
protection cover is set, please design to consider that this reflective light is minimized. It shall be effective to put light shield
wall between emitting lens and receiving lens as shown in Fig.16. Reference conditions in case of using protection cover are
shown in Table.05. Where, bellow are fixed condition that ①material=acrylic, ②transmittance>90%@850nm, ⑤angle
between surface and back of cover=parallel, ⑥angle between sensor and cover=parallel. In addition of above, surface and
back face of cover has mirror polished surface.

Direct reflective light increases as Distance from sensor to protection cover and thickness of this cover increases. In case
thickness is 2mm and distance is 1mm, measuring distance is changed shift larger from actual distance than other
condition. Shifts can make small by using installation of light shield and cover compensation function (refer to 11-5 Cover
Compensation). However, there are the cases that distance error does not decrease even if cover compensation function is
used in a sensor, depending on the conditions of protection cover.
・Noted for installation of light shield
Inner distance between lens of detector and lens of emitter is around 0.6mm (reference). So the width of light shield is
recommended to be less than 0.6mm. In case the width of light shield is longer than inner distance, measuring distance is
changed by shielding a part of emitter lens or detector lens. Please confirm that there is no problem under the actual
equipment. And in case between protection cover and light shield or between light shield and this sensor exists space, the
effect of light shield is small because light from emitter leaks. The light shield wall is recommended to use the material
that have the low transmittance at the emitting wavelength range of LED for this product (λ=850nm±70nm). When the
material of light shield wall is hard, and the power stress in which it is added to this product is large, measuring distance
may shift from actual distance.

Neither installation of a light shield wall nor use of a compensation function guarantees the distance characteristic. These
improve error shift of the distance characteristic. Regardless of usage of a light shield wall or a compensation function,
please use it after confirming with customer’s product.
6-8 Multiple Operation and Optical Interference with Other Devices
In case that some devices which emits modulated infrared light are operated at the same time, there is a possibility that
this sensor would malfunction by incidence of emitted light by other devices. There is also a possibility that other devices
would malfunction by incidence of emitted light by this sensor. Please consider the design of the finish product that the
detector of this device does not receive the light emitted from the other devices. Or, please turn this sensor to the stand-by
state when other devices operate, so that emitted light by other devices do not detect. GP2Y0E02A and GP2Y0E03 has
GPIO1 terminal which role is the control of active/stand-by condition. And GP2Y0E02B and GP2Y0E03 have the register
10/38
for active /stand-by state control through I2C communication. When some these sensors are used for the same bus, slave
address of I2C can be changed to one of the 16 states by using of E-Fuse. So, it is possible to control some sensors via I2C
communication
7. Response Time
It is possible for this distance measuring sensor to detect the distance from 50cm to 4cm and the reflective object from high
reflectance to low reflectance. Detector of this sensor has the function (**) that signal intensity is automatically adjusted in
order to detect the reflection with wide dynamic range. Time to output the first distance value is changed by the condition of
reflective object because it takes time that this auto adjustment function operates, though this sensor outputs measured
distance value after first measurement. Response time defined in electro-optical characteristic of the specification sheet
means maximum time to operate auto adjustment function. Digital output (I2C bus) keeps maximum distance of output
(64cm) and analog output is 0V till first measurement is completed. It takes approx 2ms to stabilize Vout(A) because analog
output has built-in Low-Pass filter in the board. Response time of specification includes this stabilization time of analog
output.
If operating condition such as signal accumulation and median filter is changed, response time is not satisfied with one
defined in specification sheet. Please refer to 11-2 maximum pulse width of emitting and 11-3 signal accumulation for the
change of operating condition.
（**）The function that measurement is repeated while adjusting gain etc of signal processing circuit till signal intensity
becomes suitable level for distance calculation. After adjustment to become suitable level of signal intensity, distance
measurement starts. (Refer to Fig.22)
8. Ambient Temperature Characteristic
Operating temperature range of GP2Y0E series is maximum +60℃ and minimum -10℃. Fig.17 shows that reference
data of ambient temperature dependence of digital (I2C bus) and analog output in case of white reflector (R=90%, matt) is
placed at 50cm from sensor. This characteristic is reference data measured by the arbitrarily extracted sample and not
guaranteed.

9. Ambient Light Characteristic
GP2Y0E series have the function to remove light by
the cancellation function of ambient light, a visible
light cut lens, etc. Fig.17 shows the reference data of
ambient light characteristic for digital (I2C bus) and
analog output. Reflective object (R=90%, matt) is
placed at the distance of 50cm from the sensor.
Ambient light is irradiated at same point with
emitting beam of sensor at the angle of 45 degrees as
shown in Fig.18. Ambient source of Halogen Lamp
(Toshiba lighting & technology corporation) is used in
this measurement. The source has similar spectrum of
sunlight. Each outputs of Fig.19 are the maximum,
average and minimum in 100 times measurement for
a same sample, respectively. The illuminance is
measured on the surface of reflective object. This
characteristic is reference data measured by the
arbitrarily extracted sample and not guaranteed.

GP2Y0E series have the function to remove ambient light. But when the detector receives direct light from the sun,
tungsten lamp and so on, there are cases that it can not measure the distance exactly. Please consider the design that the
detector does not receive direct light from such light source. When you operate the customer’s set installing this product by
the remote control, please consider that the output of this product being disregarded at the time of remote control operation
by software.
10. I2C Interface
GP2Y0E series have 7 bits slave address which comply with I2C bus standard (max 400kHz), so a measured distance value
can be read through I2C bus. This besides, this product can change register value for each function through I2C bus.
GP2Y0E02B and GP2Y0E03 have SCL and SDA terminal in the connecter terminal. GP2Y0E02A has SCL and SDA open
pad on the back face of board (refer to Fig.37) in order to use it when cover compensation coefficient is programmed in
E-Fuse.

GP2Y0E series supports the continuation read-out function (Burst-Read), so it can read register value from specified
address (8.) by ACK that Master transmits (11.). When read-out of data is stopped, Master transmits NACK. Since it
don’t need to specify address, it is possible to shorten time reading register value. Also Since this product supports
Repeat-Start function, it is able to skip (6.) process. Since I2C bus is not opened between 1st cycle and 2nd cycle by
skipping (6.), cross talk can be prevented also when two or more Master(s) exist on the same bus.
・ Burst-Read without repeat start

11. Functions which is possible to be set
GP2Y0E series has 7 bits slave address which complies with I2C bus standard (max400kHz), so various functions of this
product can be set by changing register value. Besides, GP2Y0E series has E-Fuse which is a nonvolatile OTP (One Time
Programmable Memory), so various functions of this product can be set by programming E-Fuse. In case power supply of
this sensor is OFF, this sensor keeps some programs that is written in E-Fuse. So when power supply is ON again, this
sensor operates under the programmed condition as before.
Table.13 shows the list of functions which can be set in GP2Y0E series.

11-2 Maximum Pulse Width of Emitting
GP2Y0E series have the function which adjust emitting power by detecting signal intensity. Emitting power is
adjusted by control of emitting pulse width. Average current consumption decrease by restricting maximum emitting
pulse width. However, distance characteristic change, especially distance output may become unstable in case of
detecting reflector at far distance and with low reflectance because signal intensity is also decreased by restricting
maximum emitting pulse width. Response time does not change even if maximum emitting pulse width is decreased.
In case that maximum pulse width of emitting is changed, there is the case that electro optical characteristic described
in specification sheet becomes not to be satisfied. Please use it after confirming with customer’s product. Table.15
shows the relation between maximum pulse width of emitting (setting value) and operating average current
consumption. Please refer to the register 0x13 in register map (bank0) of table.11 with respect to the method of
bank0 register setting. And, please refer to 12-4(2) maximum pulse width of emitting with respect to programming
in E-Fuse.

11-3 Signal Accumulation
GP2Y0E series calculate the light spot position after accumulation of several emitting pulse signals and calculate the
distance value. Response time can decrease by decreasing of signal accumulation times. However, distance
characteristic change, especially the distance output may become unstable in the case of detecting reflector at far
distance and the case with low reflectance, because signal intensity is decreased by decreasing signal accumulation
times. Response time does not change even if signal accumulation times are decreased. In case that signal
accumulation times are changed, there is the case that electro optical characteristic described in specification sheet
becomes not to be satisfied. Please use it after confirming with customer’s product. Please refer to the register 0xA8 in
register map (bank0) of table.11 with respect to the method of bank0 register setting. And, please refer to 12-4(3)

GP2Y0E series have the median calculation function by using several distance outputs in order to get stable output.
Response time increases though distance output becomes stable by using median calculation function. Median
calculation number can be selected to 5, 7 or 9. That is, in case of 5, a median of 5 distance values is output after 5 times
measurement. This sensor outputs measured distance after first measurement. However, output distance before
finishing the measurement times is not the result that median was calculated. Fig.22 shows the example that median
filter is set to 5.

Output from t0 to t5 is indefinite value because 5 times measurement is not finished before t5. However, there is the
case that output before t5 is same with one after t5 in the case that signal intensity is enough to be large. 6th output is
the median value of 5 times measurements from 2nd measurement to 6th measurement. After that, distance output is
updated every one measurement. Measurement period in table.16 is defined as one measurement period as shown in
Fig.22.
Table.17 shows the relation of response time with number of median filter (11-4) and signal accumulation times (11-3).
Please refer to the register 0x3F in register map (bank0) of table.11 with respect to the method of bank0 register
setting. And, please refer to 12-4(4) Median Filter with respect to programming in E-Fuse. In case that median filter
function is turned enable, there is the case that electro optical characteristic described in specification sheet becomes
not to be satisfied. Please use it after confirming with customer’s product.

11-5 Cover Compensation
GP2Y0E series have the cover compensation function that distance error generated by direct reflection from
protection cover which is set in customer’s product is compensated. Only tail of light spot is detected by detector (CMOS
image sensor) as shown in Fig.23, because direct reflection from flat protection cover which is set to be parallel to the
sensor enters with large incident angle to the detector. On the other hand, whole light spot with peak is formed on the
detector by the reflection of reflective object after transmitting protection cover (not shown in Fig.23). Therefore, in case
that protection cover is set in front of sensor, light spot profile has the shape of a tilt as shown in Fig.24.

Cover compensation function can be adopted under the condition that the light spot profile like Fig.25. Light spot from
protection cover is possible to be approximated linearly as shown in Fig.25. The calculated slope of linear
approximation is defined as k. k is set in signal circuit of sensor in advance before measurement of distance. Direct
reflection from protection cover is removed by subtraction of k from light spot profile before calculation of light spot
position. As described above, k is the cover compensation coefficient. Light spot profile that direct reflection from
protection cover was subtracted is the light spot profile by only reflection of reflective object as shown in Fig.26.
Therefore, distance error by installation of protection cover is decreased.

Cover compensation function is effective only when light spot profile of direct reflection from protection cover can be
approximated linearly. Incident angle of direct reflection from protection cover is decreased as increasing the distance
between protection cover and sensor, and it is also decreased as increasing cover thickness. Therefore, distance
accuracy is decreased. Also, slope k has different value from the material, shape, installation conditions and so on.
There is the case that slope k has different value by dispersion of sensor, even if installation condition is same. It is
necessary for customer to decide the compensation coefficient (slope k) to use cover compensation function under the
condition that customer’s protection cover is installed. Compensation coefficient (slope k) has dispersion by the sensor,
protection cover, installation condition and so on.

Under dark condition, protection cover is installed in front of this sensor at the given position. Black reflective object
with around 2% or less reflectance is installed at the distance of 3m or more. Most reflected light does not enter into
detector under this condition. So, light spot profile like Fig.25 is detected. Light spot is measured under this condition,
and slope k of linear approximation is calculated by the least-square method by using MCU and so on. Below shows the
measurement procedure of cover compensation coefficient by using I2C interface.

Reference value of slope k is around 350 under the above condition. This k value is reference data measured by the
arbitrarily extracted sample and not guaranteed. There is the case that it has large difference with the coefficient
measured under the customer’s condition. Please use it after confirming with customer’s product.
In case that k=350 is set in register (bank0), cover compensation [10:0] is separated into cover compensation [5:0] =
0b011110 and cover compensation [10:6] = 0b00101. Cover compensation [5:0] is available in register 0x8D of bank0
and cover compensation [10:6] is available in register 0x8E of bank0 as shown in register map(bank0) of Table.11.
Setting value in register 0x8E is 0x05 because cover compensation [10:6] is available in Reg Field [4:0]. However,
setting value in register 0x8D is 0x78 because cover compensation [5:0] is available in Reg Field [7:2]. That is,
0b011110 should be shifted left by 2 bits and 0b01111000 (=0x78) is calculated. Moreover, compensated distance
value is output after cover compensation function turns enable by setting data (0x02) in register 0x8F.
Please refer to 12-4(5) Cover Compensation with respect to the method of programming compensation coefficient in
E-Fuse.

11-6 Error Judgment of Distance Measurement
（11-6-1）Signal Intensity
Intensity
GP2Y0E series have the function that distance output is
Threshold level
fixed to 64cm (below 0.2V for the analog output) which is the
of signal intensity
maximum distance of output in case that signal intensity of
reflection is not enough to calculate distance. Because
reflective intensity from the distant reflective object is so
small, the intensity of light spot becomes very small. Distance
Pixel coordinate
accuracy is decreased because light spot position which is
of Image sensor
calculated from such spot profile is unstable. In order to
prevent decrease of distance accuracy like this, the threshold
Fig.29 Threshold level of signal intensity
level of signal intensity is already programmed in E-Fuse,
and this product outputs the calculated distance only in case signal intensity over threshold is detected. Eigenvalue of
the threshold level is programmed in E-Fuse for the each sensor so that error is judged under the same reflection
condition.
It is possible to change the threshold level by register setting of bank0, because it is already programmed in E-Fuse at
the shipment. It is necessary to set the register again after power (VDD) on when power (VDD) was once turned off,
because initial value in E-Fuse is loaded. Setting value in register bank0 is kept by switching active state to stand-by
state. So, it is not necessary that register is set again. It is possible to change threshold level by setting given value in
register 0x2F of bank0 as shown inTable.11. When VDD turns on, initial value programmed in E-Fuse is loaded in the
register 0x2F. Threshold level increases by setting value larger than read out value in register 0x2F. And, this function
is enabled in the initial state. Please turn disable by setting 0x01 in register 0xBC when this function is not used.
However, when it is disabled, unstable distance is output even if there are no reflection such as infinity. We recommend
that you use a certain threshold level is set to enable.
（11-6-2）Minimum Spot Size
GP2Y0E series have the function that distance output is fixed to 64cm (below 0.2V for the analog output) which is the
maximum distance of output in case that spot size detected on image sensor is out of specified range. As described in
chapter 6-4 and 6-5, there is the case that the shape of light spot is deformed for the case of reflective object with
boundary line or partial reflection of emitting. Reflection A with hatching area is shown in Fig.30 for the case of left side
partial reflection of emitting, and reflection B (dashed line) is shown for the case of whole reflection with uniform
reflectance. In case of whole reflection B, light spot profile is shown as dashed line in Fig.31. On the other hand, in case
of partial reflection A, light spot profile of left side is deformed as shown in hatching area of reflection A in Fig31.
Therefore, error of distance measurement generates because light spot position shifts toward right compared with
reflection B. In order to prevent decrease of distance accuracy like this, the threshold level of minimum spot size is
already programmed in E-Fuse, and this product outputs the calculated distance only in case spot size over minimum
threshold is detected. Measurement condition with error can be detected for the case of incomplete spot size, because
φA which generates error is smaller than φB. Eigenvalue of the spot size threshold is programmed in E-Fuse for the
each sensor so that error is judged under the same reflection condition.
It is possible to change the threshold level by register setting of bank0, because it is already programmed in E-Fuse at
time of the shipment. It is necessary to set the register again after power (VDD) on when power (VDD) was once turned
off, because initial value in E-Fuse is loaded. Setting value in register bank0 is kept by switching active state to
stand-by state. So, it is not necessary that register is set again. It is possible to change threshold spot size by setting
given value in register 0x34 of bank0 as shown inTable.11. When VDD turns on, initial value programmed in E-Fuse is
loaded in the register 0x34. Threshold of spot size increases by setting value larger than read out value in register 0x34.
And, this function is enabled in the initial state. Please disable by setting 0x01 in register 0xBD when this function is
not used.

There is the case that spot size of incomplete reflection

such as the reflection from a fraction of emitting beam
and the reflection from the reflective object with complex

compared with spot size of normal reflection. Fig.32
shows an example of these reflections. It is possible that

has large distance error. In order to prevent decrease of
Fig.32 Spot size of incomplete and normal reflection
distance accuracy like this, the maximum threshold of
spot size can be set in register of bank0 and programmed
in E-Fuse. This product outputs the calculated distance only in case spot size below threshold is detected.
This threshold is not programmed in E-Fuse at the shipment. This can be programmed in E-Fuse at customer side.
And, this also can be set in register of bank0. It is necessary to set the register again after power (VDD) on when power
(VDD) was once turned off, because this function operates disable. Setting value in register bank0 is kept by switching
active state to stand-by state. It is possible to change threshold spot size by setting given value in register 0x33 of bank0
as shown inTable.11. Threshold spot size increases by setting value larger than read out value in register 0x33. And,
this function is disabled in the initial state. Please turn enable by setting 0x00 in register 0xBE when this function is
used. Spot size measurement data can be read out from the register 0xF8 and 0xF9. Please refer to 12-4(6) Maximum
Spot Size Threshold of Measurement Error Judgment with respect to programming it in E-Fuse.
（11-6-4）Spot Symmetry
GP2Y0E series have the function that distance output is fixed to
64cm (below 0.2V for the analog output) which is the maximum
distance of output in case that spot symmetry detected on image
sensor is out of specified range. There is the case that the shape of
light spot is deformed for the case of reflective object with
boundary line and so on. In this case, spot size may be between
minimum and maximum threshold of spot size. However, distance
output has error because light spot position is shifted in case that
Left spot size (φL) is different with Right spot size (φR). In order
to prevent decrease of distance accuracy like this, the threshold
level of spot symmetry (fixed value : 14) is already programmed in
E-Fuse, and this product outputs the calculated distance only in
24/38
Intensity

φR
Pixel coordinate

Fig.33 Asymmetric Light Spot
case spot symmetry below threshold is detected.
It is possible to change the threshold level by register setting of bank0, because it is already programmed in E-Fuse at
the shipment. It is necessary to set the register again after power (VDD) on when power (VDD) was once turned off,
because initial value in E-Fuse is loaded. Setting value in register bank0 is kept by switching active state to stand-by
state. So, it is not necessary that register is set again. It is possible to change threshold of spot symmetry by setting
given value in register 0x1C of bank0 as shown inTable.11. When VDD turns on, initial value programmed in E-Fuse is
loaded in the register 0x1C. Threshold of spot symmetry increases by setting value larger than read out value in
register 0x1C, and calculated distance from deformed spot is output. Spot symmetry measurement data can be read
out from the register 0xF8, 0xF9 and 0xFA. This function is enabled in the initial state. Please turn disable by setting
0x01 in register 0xBF when this function is not used.
・Correlation between distance detection accuracy and close range distance measurement
As described above, it is possible to decrease the distance measurement error by using each error judgment function.
However, threshold value of spot size and spot symmetry affects the close range distance characteristic (below 4cm).
Fig.34 shows the example of distance characteristic when the error judgment is enable and Fig.35 shows the example
of distance characteristic when the error judgment is disable. When error judgment is used as shown in Fig.34,
distance output below 4cm is fixed to 64cm which is maximum distance output even if whole emitting beam is reflected
by the reflective object with uniform reflectance, though it depends on threshold value of error judgment. The
distance is about 3cm for the case of GP2Y0E series. On the other hand, as shown in Fig.35, measured distance is
decreased continuously at the distance below 4cm though it does not have linearity, when error judgment is not used.
When reflective object is placed at the distance which is very close to sensor, this sensor outputs maximum distance of
64cm because reflective light does not enter the receiving area. This is because signal intensity is under the threshold
level of signal intensity.

In this way, there is the case that distance measurement is fixed to 64cm as error by the judgment of light spot size or
symmetry threshold, when the reflective object is very close to sensor.
Fig.36 shows the flow-chart of each error judgment described in chapter 11-6. Enable bit is installed in each error
judgment function. Each function can be selected to enable or disable by this bit. These error judgment functions of
GP2Y0E series are enable except maximum spot size threshold. So, maximum spot size error judgment is skipped.

There is the case that electro-optical characteristic described in specification sheet is not satisfied if threshold value of
each error judgment is changed and if error judgment is added or removed. Please use it after confirming best output for
customer’s product.
11-7 Maximum Output Distance
Maximum output distance of GP2Y0E02B and GP2Y0E03 is 64cm, however it can be changed to 128cm by setting
register. Distance characteristic of digital output in specification is not changed, though maximum output distance can be
changed. Please use it after confirming output for customer’s product with respect of distance accuracy of the far
distance of 50cm, because it is not guaranteed in specification.
Distance output from far distance is unstable because reflection is too small. There is the possibility that output
distance can be stable by increasing signal accumulation (refer to 11-3) and setting median filter (refer to 11-4).
However, pay attention with respect to using of analog output (Vout(A) terminal), because maximum output distance
cannot be used in case that it is changed. Please refer to address 0x35 (bank0) of Table.11 with respect to setting
register.
11-8 Active / Stand-by State Control
Active and Stand-by state of GP2Y0E02A and GP2Y0E03 can be changed by input voltage in GPIO1 terminal. It turns
to active state by input H level in GPIO1 terminal, it turns to stand-by state by input L level. H and L voltage level is
decided by input voltage to VIN(IO) terminal. Please be attention in wiring of VIN(IO) in case that VDD is over 3.6V
because VIN(IO) cannot be connected to VDD. For example of VDD=5V, it is necessary of another input voltage below
3.6V. Active and stand-by state can be changed by connecting GPIO1 to VDD and GND because VIN(IO) is connected to
VDD in PCB board.
Moreover, active and stand-by state of GP2Y0E02B and GP2Y0E03 can be changed by register setting. It is necessary
of H level input voltage to GPIO1 terminal. Please refer to address 0xE8 (bank0) of Table.11 with respect to register
setting. Please refer to 4-2 with respect to timing of active / stand-by state change.
26/38
11-9 Software Reset
Register value which is set individually is cleared and all register value can be reset to initial value (setting value in
E-Fuse) by executing software reset. Procedure of software reset is shown in below.
(1) Data=0x00 is set in Address=0xEF.
(2) Data=0xEF is set in Address=0xEC.
(3) Data=0x06 is set in Address=0xEE.
(4) Data=0x7F is set in Address=0xEC.
12. E-Fuse Programming
E-Fuse is a nonvolatile memory which is possible to write program only one time. So it is able to change some settings of
this sensor by E-Fuse programming, Also compensation function can be active by E-Fuse programming. In case power
supply of this sensor is OFF, this sensor keeps some programs that is written in E-Fuse. So when power supply is ON again,
this sensor operates under the programmed condition as before.

replacement should be executed because programming error occurs. (Refer to12-5 E-Fuse bit replacement)
(2) Maximum Pulse Width of Emitting
GP2Y0E series have the function which adjust emitting power by detecting signal intensity. Emitting power is
adjusted by control of emitting pulse width. Average current consumption decrease by restricting maximum emitting
pulse width. However, distance characteristic change, especially distance output may become unstable in case of
detecting reflector at far distance and with low reflectance because signal intensity is also decreased by restricting
maximum emitting pulse width. In case that maximum pulse width of emitting is changed, there is the case that
electro optical characteristic described in specification sheet is not satisfied. Please use it after confirming with
customer’s product. Table.22 value is the reference.

E-Fuse programming is done when 0x05[2:0] is equal to A[18:16]. If 0x05[2:0] is not equal to A[18:16], E-Fuse bit
replacement should be executed because programming error occurs. (Refer to12-5 E-Fuse bit replacement)
(3) Signal Accumulation
GP2Y0E series have the function which change the accumulation number of emitting signal. Signal intensity can be
controlled by changing accumulation number. Response time is increased by increasing accumulation number, however
stability of distance output is increased because signal intensity is also increased. In case that signal accumulation
times are changed, there is the case that electro optical characteristic described in specification sheet is not satisfied.
Please use it after confirming with customer’s product. Response time in Table.23 is reference value.

E-Fuse programming is done when 0x05[4:3] is equal to A[20:19]. If 0x05[4:3] is not equal to A[20:19], E-Fuse bit
replacement should be executed because programming error occurs. (Refer to12-5 E-Fuse bit replacement)
(4) Median Filter
GP2Y0E series have the median calculation function by using several distance outputs in order to get output stable.
Response time increases though distance output gets stable by using median calculation function. Median calculation
number can be selected to 5, 7 or 9. That is, in case of 5, a median of 5 distance values is output after 5 times
measurement. Reference value of response time by combination of accumulation and median filter is shown in Table.24.
In case that median filter function is turned enable, there is the case that electro optical characteristic described in
specification sheet becomes not to be satisfied. Please use it after confirming with customer’s product.

replacement should be executed because programming error occurs. (Refer to12-5 E-Fuse bit replacement)
(5) Cover Compensation
Compensation coefficient (k) is measured by the procedure and measurement environment as described in 11-5 cover
compensation k is programmed in C[62:52], and C[51] is enable bit. Programmed C[62:52] turns enable by
34/38
programming 0 in C[51]. There are total 12 bits in programming cover compensation coefficient. It is necessary 2 cycles
shown in 12-3 Program Flow because they are over 8 bits. In case that k is programmed to 350, programmed data is
C[62:51] = 0b001010111100 including enable bit C[51]. So, programmed data at 1st cycle in address 0xCD is 0xBC =
0b10111100 and programmed data at 2nd cycle in address 0xCD is 0x02 = 0b00000010.

Remark
Check 0x10[7:0] = E[63:56] ?
Check 0x11[7:3] = E[55:51] ?
E-Fuse programming is done when 0x10[7:0] is equal to E[63:56] and 0x11[7:3] is equal to E[55:51]. If 0x10[7:0] is not
equal to E[63:56] and 0x11[7:3] is not equal to E[55:51], E-Fuse bit replacement should be executed because
programming error occurs. (Refer to12-5 E-Fuse bit replacement)
(6) Maximum Spot Size Threshold of Measurement Error Judgment
Maximum spot size threshold of GP2Y0E series can be set. There is the case that spot size of incomplete reflection
such as the reflection from a fraction of emitting beam and the reflection from the reflective object with complex
boundary line becomes large by deformed spot profile compared with spot size of normal reflection. It has high
possibility that calculated distance by using this incomplete spot profile has large distance error. In order to prevent
decrease of distance accuracy like this, the maximum threshold of spot size can be programmed in E-Fuse. This product
outputs the calculated distance only in case spot size below threshold is detected. Table.25 shows a part of example of
maximum spot size threshold setting. Maximum spot size threshold is set in E[35:28]. E[36] is an enable bit of this
function. Programmed E[35:28] turns enable by changing E[36] to 0. There are total 9bits for maximum spot size
threshold setting. It is necessary 2 cycles in 12-3 Program Flow because they are over 8bits. Measuring data of spot size
can be read out by I2C bus. Please refer to register 0xF8 and 0xF9 (bank0) in register map.

Remark
Check 0x23[4:0] = E[36:32] ?
Check 0x24[7:4] = E[31:28] ?
E-Fuse programming is done when 0x23[4:0] is equal to E[36:32] and 0x24[7:4] is equal to E[31:28]. If 0x23[4:0] is not
equal to E[36:32] and 0x24[7:4] is not equal to E[31:28], E-Fuse bit replacement should be executed because
programming error occurs. (Refer to12-5 E-Fuse bit replacement)

12-5 E-Fuse Bit Replacement
There is the possibility that E-Fuse bit programmed fail (Fail rate is 20ppm/bit). Default value of each bit of E-Fuse is all
“1”, specified bit can be changed to “0” by executing program flow of Fig.37. If the bit cannot be programmed to “0” (always
“1”), then this bit is fail bit. GP2Y0E series has the function that fail bit can be replaced. The bit number which can be
replaced is one. If 2 bits are fail in this product, then this cannot be used.
(1) E-Fuse Bit Replacement Sequence
E-Fuse bit replacement is executed by specifying replace bit in D[63:55] of E-Fuse bit map. LSB of Bank A is “0”, and
MSB of Bank E is “319”. Fail bit can be shown as 9bit number, the number is programmed in D[63:55] to replace it.
・The case of A[1] replacement
Programmed value in D[63:55] is “1”. (= 1+64*0 = 0x0001, where 0 is the bank value of bank A)
・The case of C[51] replacement
Programmed value in D[63:55] is “179”. (= 51+64*2 = 0x00B3, where 2 is the bank value of bank C)
・The case of E[4] replacement
Programmed value in D[63:55] is “260”. (=4+64*4 = 0x0104, where 4 is the bank value of bank E)
