Key Features
- Long-range Time-of-Flight sensing up to 4 m distance with invisible 940 nm VCSEL laser for accurate proximity and ranging in ambient light conditions
- Compact 2.4 x 2.4 mm package with I2C interface and programmable region of interest (ROI) enabling flexible integration in portable and space-constrained designs
- Up to 50 Hz ranging rate with multi-zone capability supporting fast obstacle detection and gesture recognition in robotics and consumer electronics
Applications
The VL53L1X is widely deployed in smartphone camera autofocus systems, robotic obstacle avoidance, and industrial proximity sensing where accurate distance measurements from 4 cm to 4 m at up to 50 Hz are required. Its compact 2.4 x 2.4 mm footprint and I2C interface make it straightforward to embed in drones, smart home devices, and wearable health monitors for gesture and presence detection. The programmable region of interest and multi-ranging modes enable designers to tailor the sensor to narrow-beam or wide-field-of-view applications without external optics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum sensing range and update rate of the VL53L1X?
The VL53L1X can measure distances from 4 cm up to 4 m and supports ranging rates up to 50 Hz, enabling fast and accurate distance measurements for obstacle detection, presence sensing, and autofocus applications across a wide range of indoor and outdoor lighting conditions using a 940 nm invisible laser.
How does the VL53L1X programmable Region of Interest (ROI) help in multi-sensor designs?
The VL53L1X allows designers to define a programmable Region of Interest within the 27-zone SPAD array, narrowing or widening the sensor field of view from a minimum of 4 x 4 SPADs to the full 16 x 16 SPAD grid, which reduces cross-talk in multi-sensor arrays or concentrates detection on a specific zone for gesture and proximity applications without mechanical aperture changes.
Which communication interface does the VL53L1X use and what supply voltage does it require?
The VL53L1X communicates via a fast-mode I2C interface at up to 400 kHz and operates from a 2.6 V to 3.5 V supply, making it directly compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers and single-board computers used in robotics, IoT edge nodes, and mobile devices without the need for level-shifting circuitry.
How does the VL53L1X compare to the VL53L0X in terms of ranging distance?
The VL53L1X extends ranging capability to 4 m compared to the VL53L0X maximum of approximately 2 m, and adds a programmable multi-zone sensing ROI and improved ambient light immunity, making it preferable for outdoor robotics, long-corridor presence detection, and industrial conveyor systems requiring reliable ranging beyond 2 m at up to 50 Hz update rates.
