Discover the advanced capabilities of the VL6180X three-in-one opto-electronic module, designed for precision and versatility. This innovative device integrates an IR VSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) infrared source, a proximity sensor, and an ambient light sensor (ALS) into a compact package. The VL6180X utilizes the time-of-flight (ToF) measurement principle, employing a SPAD detector array to accurately measure the distance to objects, regardless of their reflectivity. This feature enables reliable one-dimensional gesture control, making it ideal for interactive applications.
The ambient light sensor boasts exceptional sensitivity and precision, even in ultra-low light conditions, with a wide sensing dynamic range and Lux-corrected output. All components necessary for the proximity and ambient light sensors are seamlessly integrated into a single optical module, eliminating the need for mechanical spacers or additional lens systems.
