Laser Range Sensor Module TOF10120 10 to 180 cm Distance Sensor

Laser Range Sensor Module TOF10120 10 to 180 cm Distance Sensor with RS232 Interface

TOF10120 range sensor provides accurate and repeatable long range distance measurement for high-speed autofocus (AF). The innovative time-of-flight technology allows performance independent of object reflectance.

TOF10120’s time-of-flight sensing technology is realized by Sharp’s original SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes ) using low-cost standard CMOS process. It enables accurate ranging result, higher immunity to ambient light and better robustness to cover-glass optical cross-talk by special optical package design.
