STMicroelectronics VL53L1-SATEL Breakout Boards

STMicroelectronics VL53L1-SATEL Breakout Boards are based on the VL53L1 Time-of-Flight (ToF) Proximity Sensor with multi-object detection. The VL53L1-SATEL Breakout Boards are designed to easily integrate the VL53L1 Proximity Sensor into custom applications. The Breakout Boards include a voltage regulator and level shifters, enabling them to be used in any application with a 2.8V to 5.0V supply.

The VL53L1-SATEL Breakout Boards feature a perforation, allowing users to separate the section supporting the VL53L1 module for use using flying leads in a 2.8V supply application. The small PCB size makes it easier to integrate the VL53L1-SATEL breakout boards into development and evaluation devices.
