  • Key Benefits:

    • High-resolution ToF depth sensing — measures distance across a 64-point grid for detailed depth maps and precise spatial awareness.
    • Fast, long-range performance — accurate ranging beyond 300 cm with full field of view.
    • Robust direct-ToF histogram algorithms — immune to cover-glass cross-talk and fingerprint smudges; includes dynamic smudge compensation.
    • Multi-target detection — simultaneously detects and measures distances to multiple objects.
    • Excellent short-range linearity — high accuracy even at close distances.
    • Practical field of view — typical full FoV ~25° for broad scene coverage.
    • Easy system integration — reflowable component, single power supply, supports various cover-glass types, and offers part-to-part or generic crosstalk calibration.
    • Flexible interfaces & controls — I²C (up to 1 MHz).
    • Turnkey software support — full C and Linux drivers for rapid deployment.
    • Rugged & compact for real-world use — designed for reliable operation in robotics and embedded systems.
    • Perfect for competitive and mobile robotics — ideal for robot-combat, obstacle avoidance, mapping, SLAM assist, proximity sensing, and advanced perception tasks.
