 Hi there, I'd like to introduce ST's new Mini LiDAR module, the VL53L9. This direct time of flight module offers long and short distance ranging, high resolution and a wide field of view in an all-in-one reflowable package. This product is perfect for use in advanced smartphone imaging systems, enhancing use cases such as camera assist, including bokeh, laser autofocus, touch-to-focus, smart focus braketing and face identification assist. Other supported use cases could include use in AR VR systems for room mapping or avatar creation, also enabling both static and dynamic gesture control. By combining ST's latest in-house 3D SPAD C40 technology with a state-of-the-art digital processing pipe, the VL53L9 silicon is capable of outputting full resolution data at up to 60 frames per second. In typical indoor conditions, the VL53L9 can range on targets from 5cm up to 10m reaching 5m in full sunlight. The efficient rectangular field of illumination created by ST's in-house metasurface lens technology allows excellent range uniformity to be maintained across all zones. The module will support a resolution of up to 54 by 42 zones, and the flood illumination ensures that small objects are detected. This module takes ST's multi-zone direct time-of-flight product family to the next level. Innovative design and manufacturing processes used to construct the VL53L9 leverage in 10 years of production development and high-volume production experience with time-of-flight based solutions. This is a true all-in-one module, on-chip processing, illumination system, optics and power management IC all on board. If you would like to know more about this product, please contact your local ST representative.
