Mouser Shipping STMicroelectronics VL53L4ED Time-of-Flight Proximity Sensor for Presence and System Activation Applications

April 9, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the VL53L4ED time-of-flight (ToF) high-accuracy proximity sensor from STMicroelectronics. The VL53L4ED is designed for high-accuracy, short-range measurements that require extended temperature performance for robotics, presence detection, industrial automation, and system activation applications.

STMicroelectronics VL53L4ED proximity sensor, available from Mouser, supports an effective temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, guaranteeing accurate measurements even under extreme temperatures. This high-performance sensor features a short distance linearity of 1mm and an autonomous low-power mode, with an interrupt programmable threshold to wake the host. The VL53L4ED sensor offers an 18° field of view for measurements from 1mm up to 1300mm in standard conditions and up to 1150mm under extended temperature. Special settings also provide an accurate distance measurement of up to 800 mm under ambient light conditions (5 klx). This sensor features a fast-ranging frequency of up to 100Hz and is housed in a miniature reflowable package that is a direct derivative of the VL53L4CD, with which it is pin-to-pin compatible. Like all time-of-flight sensors based on STMicroelectronics' FlightSense™ technology, the VL53L4ED records an absolute distance measurement regardless of the target color and reflectance.

STMicroelectronics X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 expansion board, also available from Mouser, assists in learning, evaluating, and developing applications using the VL53L4ED ToF high-accuracy proximity sensor with extended temperature capability. This expansion board is equipped with Arduino^® UNO R3 connectors for easy connection to any STM32 microcontroller board. Mouser also stocks the STMicroelectronics SATEL-VL53L4ED breakout board, which offers easy access to all of the VL53L4ED sensor's signal pins for integration into prototypes.
