1.1 Measurement conditions


When taking ranging measurements, it is considered that:
• The full field of view (FoV) is covered (i.e. 25 °)
• Charts used as targets are grey (17 % reflectance, N4.74 Munsell) and white (88 % reflectance, N9.5
Munsell).
• Nominal voltage is 2.8 V and temperature is 23 °C
• The device is controlled through the driver using the default settings (refer to UM2780 for a description of the
driver settings).
• The detection rate is considered as 90 % and 50 % which is the percentage of good measurements reported
by the device.
• Indoor (no IR) means there is no light contribution in the bandwidth 940 nm ± 30 nm.
• Outdoor overcast conditions means a back light level of 0.7 W/m² on the sensor, in the bandwidth 940 nm ±
30 nm.
• No coverglass is present corresponding to 5KLux in AM1.5 sunlight equivalent

1.2 Minimum ranging distance


A target can be detected down to 10 mm and performance is specified down to 25 mm.

1.3 Maximum ranging distance


The table below shows the ranging specifications for a typical VL53L3CX bare module, without cover glass, at
room temperature (23 °C), with nominal voltage (2.8 V), and full FoV covered.

2. Outdoor: 0.7 W/m² corresponding to 5 kLux in AM1.5 sunlight equivalent

The ranging distances in the table below are those reported by the driver by the parameter called
RangeMeanMilliMeter.

Ranging accuracy

1.4 Ranging accuracy


Ranging accuracy is defined as follows:
RangeMeanMillimeter
RangingAccuracy = TargetDistance
× 100
The ranging accuracy is a direct evaluation of the measurement, including offset errors and output noise. This
qualitative indicator includes measure-to-measure and part-to-part dispersion.
The table shows the ranging specifications for a typical VL53L3CX bare module, without cover glass, at room
temperature (23 °C), with nominal voltage (2.8 V), and full FoV covered.
