ST is committed to providing substantial software support to solution designers working with time-of-flight sensors. This helps them extract the maximum application benefits in terms of performance and accuracy. Recent examples of this include the milestone achievement of 8-meter range, as well as a short distance linearity starting from 1 mm.
Our latest drivers unlock new application potential by noticeably reducing power consumption. These new ultra-low-power (ULP) drivers reduce power consumption in VL53L1CX and VL53L3CX ToF sensors down to 55 µA at 1 Hz ranging frequency. Such low power consumption allows prolonged ToF sensor operation in battery-operated devices.
During this webinar, we show you how to take advantage of ULP drivers for ST ToF sensors in different applications like smart switches, sanitary, and access control systems. We will complement the presentation with several live demonstrations of our devices in action.
We also discuss the main features and performance characteristics of the new driver architecture, as well as highlight the key differences with respect to previous drivers.
We conclude the webinar by pointing you to relevant technical resources and evaluation boards to test the new features and verify their application potential.

The ULP drivers allow the VL53L3CX and VL53L1CX to function as proximity detectors based on time-of-flight technology. The settings and flow have been specially designed to reduce the power consumption. Using the proposed configuration, the current consumption can be reduced down to 55 μA at 1 Hz ranging frequency with a 2V8 power supply. All the processing is fully embedded in the sensor firmware. Instead of outputting default data like distance, signal, spad nb, etc., the implemented mechanism raises an interrupt to the host when a target is detected in the field-of-view.
