Product Description

VL53L1X Laser Ranging TimeofFlight Sensor Module

HighPrecision 4Meter Laser Distance Sensor for Arduino and Raspberry Pi

The VL53L1X is a stateoftheart TimeofFlight (ToF) laserranging sensor based on ST's FlightSense technology, capable of measuring distances up to 4 meters with a fast 50Hz update rate [citation:2][citation:5]. Unlike traditional IR sensors, its absolute distance measurement is unaffected by the target's color or reflectance [citation:1][citation:5].

4Meter LongDistance Ranging - Measures absolute distance up to 4000mm independent of target color
Fast 50Hz Update Rate - Up to 50 ranging measurements per second
Operating voltage: 3.3V/5V (module level) with onboard voltage translator [citation:1][citation:5]
I2C communication interface with up to 400kHz clock speed [citation:2]
Use the SHUT pin to put the sensor into hardware standby for low power operation [citation:1]

Key Specifications

ParameterValue
:-:-
Ranging Distance40mm to 4000mm (4 meters) [citation:1][citation:5]
Ranging FrequencyUp to 50Hz [citation:2][citation:5]
Field of View (FoV)27° typical [citation:1][citation:5]
Laser Wavelength940nm (invisible Class 1 laser) [citation:1][citation:5]
Ranging Accuracy±5% [citation:1][citation:5]
InterfaceI2C (supports level shifting) [citation:1][citation:5]
Operating Temp-20°C to 80°C [citation:1][citation:5]

The sensor integrates a SPAD receiving array, a 940nm invisible Class 1 laser emitter, and physical infrared filters in a single module [citation:2]. It supports programmable ROI (Region of Interest) to reduce the Field of View when needed [citation:3].
