STMicroelectronics’s 5th generation of FlightSense™ sensors offer a wide portfolio of Time of Flight multi-zone ranging sensors, from single zone sensors up to multi-zone sensors able to create a 64-zone mini depth map up to 4 meters. ST ToF sensors are an all-in-one (emitter, receiver, and processor) system for an easy, cost effective, low power and small footprint integration. Benefits of FlightSense sensors True distance measurement, independent of target size, color, and reflectance Accurate and high-speed distance measurement All-in-one integrated module for easy integration Low power consumption Truly invisible 940nm illumination What is FlightSense™? FlightSense™ is the trademark of the ST Time-of-Flight technology. The time-of-flight principle is based on the speed of the light. An emitter sends photons which are reflected by the target and detected by the receiver (called SPAD for Single Photon Avalanche Diode). The time difference between the emission and the reception provides the actual distance of the target in millimeters with a high accuracy Patented histogram algorithms ST's patented histogram algorithms enable measuring distances to multiple objects as well as increasing accuracy. In addition to increased cover-glass crosstalk immunity and improved ranging under ambient lighting, the histogram algorithms ensure real-time smudge compensation for applications operating in dirty industrial environments. Time-of-Flight sensors with Compact Normalized Histogram outputs enables AI applications Maximum distance measurement can reach 8 meters Multi-target detection and measurement in the FoV Smudge immunity above 60 cm
