ams Launches Extended Operating Range dToF Module Enabling Smartphones With Space-Saving Accurate Distance Measurement
Summary
The TMF8801 is more than 30% smaller than competing ToF sensors – making it perfect for compact space constrained designs – yet offers superior performance in important parameters including accuracy and usability in the presence of sunlight. Competing ToF sensors struggle to accurately measure distance below dirty or smudged cover glass whereas the TMF8801 maintains high accuracy through use of its on-chip histogram processing. With an integrated VCSEL infrared emitter, multiple SPAD (single photon avalanche photo-diode) light detectors, time-to-digital converter, and on-chip microcontroller for processing histograms, the TMF8801 delivers superior ToF performance. Not just for smartphones – further applications The small size and low power consumption of the TMF8801 is ideal for fast-ranging collision avoidance detection used in autonomous vacuum cleaners, and industrial robotics.
