53L0-SATEL-I1
Satellite boards based on VL53L0X ranging and gesture detection
sensor
Data brief
Features
Two satellite boards, integrating:
VL53L0X 3-in-1 ranging and gesture
detection sensor
Regulator: 5 to 2.8V range input voltage
(output voltage: 2.8V)
VL53L0X signal interface level shifter
True distance measurement independent of
target size and reflectance
Able to function in multi-module applications
Divisible board enabling use as mini-PCB
breakout board, easy to integrate in customer
device
Allows basic gesture recognition use case
Description
Satellite board can be used for easy integration
into customer devices and basic gesture
detection applications.
Thanks to its 2.8V regulator and level shifters, the
VL53L0X satellite board can be used in any
application with a 2.8 to 5V supply.
The PCB section supporting the VL53L0X module
is perforated so that developers can break off the
mini PCB for use in a 2.8V supply application
using flying leads.
This makes it easier to integrate into development
and evaluation devices due to its small form
factor.

VL53L0X Overview
The VL53L0X is the latest product based on ST’s patented FlightSense™ technology.
This is a ground-breaking technology allowing absolute distance to be measured
independent of target reflectance.
Instead of estimating the distance by measuring the amount of light reflected back from the
object (which is significantly influenced by color and surface), the VL53L0X precisely
measures the time the light takes to travel to the nearest object and reflect back to the
sensor (Time-of-Flight).
Combining an IR emitter and a range sensor, the VL53L0X is easy to integrate and saves
OEMs long and costly optical and mechanical design optimizations.
The module is designed for low-power operation. Ranging measurements can be
automatically performed at user defined intervals.
Multiple threshold and interrupt schemes are supported to minimize host operations.
Note: The VL53L0X is delivered with a liner, in order to prevent potential foreign material to
penetrate inside the modules holes during assembly process. It must be removed at the
latest possible step during final assembly, and anyway before module calibration.
Divisible board
For 2.8V supply application, the satellite board can be divided along the red dotted line as
shown in Figure 1, in order to only use the “mini PCB”, Which is easier to integrate into a
customer device due to its small form factor.
