Mingjiada Electronics Recycle ST VL53L Series Time-Of-Flight (ToF) Sensors

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. — With many years of experience in the electronic component recycling industry, we specialise in the professional recycling of the full range of ST Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors. We cover all categories and models, employing standardised sorting and recycling processes to efficiently utilise companies’ idle electronic inventory and promote resource recycling within the electronics industry.

ST — Time-of-Flight (ToF) Sensors
- dToF Direct Time-of-Flight Sensors: These sensors directly measure the round-trip time of light pulses using high-precision timers. They offer long-range measurement and strong anti-interference capabilities, and are primarily used in industrial-grade distance measurement and robot navigation applications, delivering excellent stability.
- iToF Indirect Time-of-Flight Sensors: These sensors calculate distance data by detecting the phase difference between transmitted and received light waves. They feature high precision and a compact size, and are commonly used in consumer electronics, smart home devices, and short-range human-machine interaction equipment.

Single-zone short-range basic ranging models — VL53L0X, VL53L0CX, VL53L4CD, etc.
Details: Ultra-low power consumption and miniaturised packaging, suitable for near-field proximity sensing and simple obstacle avoidance; ranging distance of approximately 0–2 metres, making them standard components in consumer electronics.

Medium-Range Multi-Target Type — VL53L1X, VL53L1CB, VL53L3CX, etc.
Details: Measurement range extended to 3–4 metres, supporting multi-target detection and enhanced resistance to ambient light interference; suitable for applications such as robot vacuum navigation and logistics distance measurement.

Multi-zone matrix wide-field-of-view models — VL53L5CX, VL53L7CH, etc.
Details: Breakthrough 8x8 multi-zone ranging architecture (some models, such as the VL53L7CH, have been upgraded to a wider 90° diagonal field of view); supports matrix-based area ranging and dynamic gesture recognition; a core technology for AR/VR interaction and human-machine interaction in smart homes.

Long-Range LiDAR Architecture — Models in the VL53L series supporting long-range ranging (e.g., sensors compatible with the VL53L4ED evaluation board)
Details: Integrates on-chip processing with a LiDAR-like architecture, extending the ranging distance to 6 metres or further. Features industrial-grade wide temperature tolerance and high stability, suitable for industrial AGV navigation and smart warehouse ranging.
