OPTICAL RANGING // 8X8 MULTIZONE DEPTH SENSOR

ST VL53L5CX 64-Zone Multizone Time-of-Flight Sensor

The ST VL53L5CX is a wide-field-of-view (61-degree diagonal) multizone Time-of-Flight laser-ranging sensor. It projects a 940 nm VCSEL illumination pattern and resolves either 4x4 (16 zones at 60 Hz) or 8x8 (64 zones at 15 Hz) simultaneous distance measurements up to 4 meters.
