What are the key features of VL53L5CX?
- 8x8 multizone ranging with 63-degree diagonal FoV delivers spatial depth maps at up to 15 Hz for gesture and obstacle detection
- Time-of-flight VCSEL + SPAD architecture measures 2 cm to 400 cm range accurately regardless of target color or reflectivity
- Compact 6.4x3.0 mm LGA package with I2C/SPI interface enables drop-in depth sensing in slim consumer and robotics form factors
What is VL53L5CX used for?
The VL53L5CX is widely deployed in smartphones and tablets for under-display proximity sensing and camera autofocus assist, leveraging its 8x8 depth map to distinguish face from background at up to 400 cm. Robotics and drone platforms use the sensor for obstacle avoidance and floor detection, taking advantage of the 63-degree FoV at 15 Hz. Smart home appliances such as robotic vacuums and gesture-controlled displays also benefit from the sensor's low-power multizone mapping capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ranging distance and zone resolution of VL53L5CX?
The VL53L5CX provides an 8x8 grid of 64 ranging zones covering distances from 2 cm up to 400 cm, with a 63-degree diagonal field of view. The sensor outputs full 64-zone depth frames at up to 15 Hz, enabling real-time spatial mapping for gesture control, obstacle avoidance, and proximity detection.
Which interface does VL53L5CX use and what supply voltage does it require?
VL53L5CX communicates over I2C or SPI and operates from a 3.3 V supply for the host interface with a separate 1.8 V AVDD for the VCSEL emitter, allowing integration with both 1.8 V and 3.3 V microcontroller IO rails. The dual-supply design keeps digital noise isolated from the optical sensing front end.
How does VL53L5CX compare with single-zone ToF sensors for robotics navigation?
Unlike single-zone sensors that return one distance point, the VL53L5CX delivers 64 simultaneous range measurements per 15 Hz frame across a 63-degree FoV, enabling a robot to detect the height, width, and proximity of obstacles in a single sensor scan. This eliminates the need for mechanical scanning or multiple single-zone sensors in many mobile robotics designs.
