Product Introduction
The TMF8805 is a direct time-of-flight (dToF) optical distance sensor module achieving up to 2500 mm target detection distance. It is a time-of-flight sensor in a single modular package with an associated VCSEL. The device is based on SPAD, TDC, and histogram technology and achieves a 2500 mm detection range.
Features
- Modular package - 2.2 mm x 3.6 mm x 1.0 mm
- No influence on multi object reflections
- Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC)
- Direct Time-of-Flight Measurement
- Single Photon Avalanche Photodiode (SPAD)
- Histogram based architecture
- Minimum distance 20 mm
- Maximum distance 2500 mm
- Dynamic cover glass calibration
- Reliable operation under demanding use cases
- Reference SPAD
- Distance and signal quality reported
- Fast VCSEL driver with protection
- 27 mA power consumption at 30 Hz operation
- 0.26 µA power-down current consumption (EN=0)
Applications
- Distance measurement for camera autofocus (Laser Detect Autofocus - LDAF)
- Supporting low-power system operation by enabling high-power components (i.e. 3D camera) only when an object is in the detection range
- Presence detection - Object detection
- Collision avoidance
