STMicroelectronics released its second-generation laser-ranging sensor based on its successful FlightSense technology. The new sensor, the VL53L0, can range faster, over longer distances, and more accurately, significantly improving smartphone- and tablet-camera performance and opening new possibilities and features in robotics, user detection, drones, IoT and wearables.

With its small form factor of 4.4 x 2.4 x 1mm, the VL53L0 is the smallest ToF (Time-of-Flight) module in the world, and the first to integrate a 940nm VCSEL1 light source, a SPAD2 photon detector, and an advanced microcontroller to manage the complete ranging function.
