Caps as close as possible to VL53L3CX
Capacitors on the external supply AVDD should be placed as close as possible to the AVDDVCSEL and
AVSSVCSEL module pins.
External pull-up resistor values can be found in I2C-bus specification. Pull-ups are typically fitted only once per bus, near the host. For suggested values see tables below.
XSHUT pin must always be driven to avoid leakage current. A pullup is needed if the host state is not known.
XSHUT is needed to use HW standby mode (no I2C communication).
XSHUT and GPIO1 pull up recommended values are 10 kOhms. GPIO1 should be left unconnected if not used.
The tables below show recommended values for pull-up and series resistors for an AVDD of 1.8 V to 2.8 V in I2C
Fast mode (up to 400 kHz) and Fast mode plus (up to 1 MHz).

Functional description
2.1
System functional description
The figure below shows the system level functional description. The host customer application controls the device using an API (application programming interface). The API implementation is delivered to the customer as a driver
(Bare C code, or Linux driver).
The driver shares with the customer application a set of high level functions that allow control of the device
Firmware (FW) like initialization, ranging start/stop, setting the system accuracy.
The driver is a turnkey solution consisting of a set of “C” functions that enable fast development of end user applications without the complication of direct multiple register access. The driver is structured in a way that it can be compiled on any kind of platform through a well abstracted platform layer. The driver package allows the user to take full advantage of the device capabilities.
A detailed description of the driver is available in the device driver user manual.
The device FW fully manages the hardware (HW) register accesses.
Section 2.2 State machine description details the Firmware state machine.

Customer manufacturing calibration flow
Up to three calibrations are needed to guarantee the best sensor performances. Offset and RefSpad calibration are needed in all applications. If a cover glass is used, the crosstalk calibration is needed also.
“Generic shape” crosstalk calibration is also available. In this case, part-to-part calibration is not needed and a standard set of calibration values is loaded.
The detailed procedure is provided in the device driver user manual.
Device programming and control
The VL53L3CX physical control interface is I2C, described in
.
A software layer (driver) is provided to control the device. This avoids complex I2C register operations with turnkey functions to start, stop and read the ranging values.
The driver structure and functions are described in the device driver user manual.

Ranging mode description
Ranging mode description
The VL53L3CX dedicated operating mode (called “preset”) is “ranging mode”. In this mode, the software driver proposes turnkey to allow fast and easy ranging in all customer applications:
Ranging mode is the configuration to get the best of the VL53L3CX functionalities.
•
•
•
Ranging mode is natively immune to cover glass crosstalk and smudge beyond 80 cm. With patented algorithms (direct ToF), a temporal filtering is possible to distinguish crosstalk from the object signal over long distances > 80 cm. A best-in-class ranging performance of 300 cm with the cover glass in place is now possible, and can be reached with any computation unlike other sensors on the market.
Ranging mode can detect several objects concurrently within the FoV. Up to four ranges can be output simultaneously by the software driver, to indicate an object's range. Check the latest software driver manual for further details.
Ranging operation is performed by default at 30 Hz once the driver function is called (typical ranging operation lasts 33 ms). It includes internal housekeeping, ranging and post-processing.
Ranging mode requires a handshake between the host and the VL53L3CX, at each ranging operation. This handshake is mandatory to ensure the right result is read by the host to continue the ranging operation.
Please refer to Section 2.10 Handshake management .
Digital processing
Digital processing is the final operation of the ranging sequence that computes, validates or rejects a ranging measurement. Part of this processing is performed by the VL53L3CX internal Firmware and completed on the host processor running the software driver.
At the end of digital processing, the ranging distance is computed by the VL53L3CX itself. If the distance cannot be measured (no target or weak signal), a corresponding status error code is generated and can be read by the host.
A full description of the status errors is provided inside the device driver user manual.
Reading the results
The VL53L3CX software driver provides turnkey functions to read output results after the measurement:
• Signal rate per object detected
• Ranging distance per object detected
• Min. and max. distances where object is located
A full description is provided inside the device driver user manual.

Power sequence
Power sequence
Power up and boot sequence
There are two options available for device power up/boot.
Option 1 : The XSHUT pin is connected and controlled from the host.
This option optimizes power consumption as the device can be completely powered off when not used, and then woken up through the host GPIO (using the XSHUT pin).
HW Standby mode is defined as the period when AVDD is present and XSHUT is low
Figure 6. Power up and boot sequence
Option 2 : The XSHUT pin is not controlled by the host, it is tied to AVDD through the pull-up resistor.
When the XSHUT pin is not controlled, the power-up sequence is presented in the figure below. In this case, the device goes automatically to SW STANDBY after FW BOOT, without entering HW STANDBY.
Figure 7. Power up and boot sequence with XSHUT not controlled
Note:
Note:
Note:
In both cases, t
BOOT
is 1.2 ms max.
In both cases, XSHUT has to be raised only when AVDD is tied on.
The VL53L3CX must only exit reset when there is no existing I2C transaction taking place on the bus i.e. do not raise the XSHUT when there is an existing I2C command in progress, wait until the current I2C command has completed.

Handshake management
Once a ranging measurement is available, an interrupt is generated. This is communicated to the host as a physical signal on the GPIO1 pin, which is driven low, and the output of a driver function. The former operating method is called “hardware interrupt”, and the latter is referred as “polling mode”.
Once the host reads the result, the interrupt is cleared by the driver and the ranging sequence can repeat. If the interrupt is not cleared, the ranging operation inside the VL53L3CX is on hold. The interrupt behavior allows a good synchronization between the VL53L3CX and the host, avoids losing results if the host is not available to acquire or process the data.
It is strongly recommended to use the hardware interrupt pin to manage this handshake.
For more details please refer to the device driver user manual.

VL53L3CX
Control interface
Control interface
This section specifies the control interface. The I2C interface uses two signals: serial data line (SDA) and serial clock line (SCL). Each device connected to the bus uses a unique address and a simple master / slave relationships exists.
Both SDA and SCL lines are connected to a positive supply voltage using pull-up resistors located on the host.
Lines are only actively driven low. A high condition occurs when lines are floating and the pull-up resistors pull lines up. When no data is transmitted both lines are high.
Clock signal (SCL) generation is performed by the master device. The master device initiates data transfer. The
I2C bus on the product device has a maximum speed of 1 Mbits/s and uses a default device address of 0x52.

Information is packed in 8-bit packets (bytes) always followed by an acknowledge bit, Ac for VL53L3CX acknowledge and Am for master acknowledge (host bus master). The internal data is produced by sampling
SDA at a rising edge of SCL. The external data must be stable during the high period of SCL. The exceptions to this are start (S) or stop (P) conditions when SDA falls or rises respectively, while SCL is high.
A message contains a series of bytes preceded by a start condition and followed by either a stop or repeated start (another start condition but without a preceding stop condition) followed by another message. The first byte contains the device address (0x52) and also specifies the data direction. If the least significant bit is low (that is, 0x52) the message is a master-write-to-the-slave. If the LSB is set (that is, 0x53) then the message is a master-read-from-the-slave.

All serial interface communications with the Time-of-Flight sensor must begin with a start condition. The
VL53L3CX module acknowledges the receipt of a valid address by driving the SDA wire low. The state of the read/write bit (LSB of the address byte) is stored and the next byte of data, sampled from SDA, can be interpreted. During a write sequence, the second byte received provides a 16-bit index which points to one of the internal 8-bit registers.

As data are received by the slave, they are written bit by bit to a serial/parallel register. After each data byte has been received by the slave, an acknowledge is generated, the data are then stored in the internal register addressed by the current index
During a read message, the contents of the register addressed by the current index is read out in the byte following the device address byte. The contents of this register are parallel loaded into the serial/parallel register and clocked out of the device by the falling edge of SCL.

At the end of each byte, in both read and write message sequences, an acknowledge is issued by the receiving device (that is, the VL53L3CX device for a write and the host for a read).
A message can only be terminated by the bus master, either by issuing a stop condition or by a negative acknowledge (that is, not pulling the SDA line low) after reading a complete byte during a read operation.
The interface also supports auto-increment indexing. After the first data byte has been transferred, the index is automatically incremented by 1. The master can therefore send data bytes continuously to the slave until the slave fails to provide an acknowledge or the master terminates the write communication with a stop condition. If the auto-increment feature is used the master does not have to send address indexes to accompany the data bytes.

"Indoor" corresponds to no infrared
"Outdoor overcast" corresponds to a parasitic noise of 10 kcps/SPAD for the device module. For reference, this corresponds to a 1.2 W/m 2 at 940 nm and is equivalent to 5 kLux daylight while ranging on a grey 17 % chart at 40 cm.
Detection rate is the worst case percentage of measurements that return a valid measurement.
The ranging distances reported are the ones reported by the driver by the parameter called RangeMilliMeter.

Ranging accuracy
Ranging accuracy
Ranging accuracy is defined as follows:
RangingAccuracy =
RangeMilliMeter − TargetDistance
TargetDistance
× 100
The ranging accuracy is a direct evaluation of the measurement, including offset errors and output noise.
At least 94 % of the ranging values are within the declared ranges. This quality indicator includes measure-tomeasure and part-to-part dispersion.

Ranging drift with temperature
When the temperature increases, the ranging value is affected by an offset of 1.3 mm per degree Celsius change.
This value is an offset and not a gain, and it does not depend on the target distance.
The VL53L3CX device embeds a feature that allows the temperature variation effect to be compensated, while ranging.
When the ranging is started, the self-calibration is performed once and this allows to remove the ranging drift.
In order to get the best accuracy performances, it is recommended to perform a self-calibration when temperature varies. This operation is realized calling in sequence the functions “stop” and “start”.

ST delivers any of the two alternative dual source cap assemblies as detailed in the drawings below. Both versions are transparent for the customer, since the pad and substrate design are identical for both versions and have no impact on customer PCB design. Ranging performances, reflow, and technical parameters are identical for both module designs presented in the second figure below.

Laser safety considerations
Caution:
The device contains a laser emitter and corresponding drive circuitry. The laser output is designed to remain within Class 1 laser safety limits under all reasonably foreseeable conditions including single faults in compliance with IEC 60825-1:2014 (third edition).
The laser output remains within Class 1 limits as long as STMicroelectronic’s recommended device settings are used and the operating conditions specified are respected (particularly the maximum timing budget, as described in the product user manual).
The laser output power must not be increased by any means and no optics should be used with the intention of focusing the laser beam.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Packing
At customer/subcontractor level, it is recommended to mount the device in a clean environment to avoid foreign material deposition.
To help avoid any foreign material contamination at phone assembly level the modules will be shipped in a tape and reel format, starting from production version (cut1.1). The tape is described in the
Figure 22. Tape outline drawing
.
The packaging will be vacuum-sealed and include a desiccant.

Lead-free solder reflow process
Lead-free solder reflow process
The figure and table below show the recommended and maximum values for the solder profile.
Customers have to tune the reflow profile depending on the PCB, solder paste, and material used. We expect customers to follow the “recommended” reflow profile, which is specifically tuned for this specifice device package.
If a customer must perform a reflow profile which is different from the “recommended” one (especially peak >240
°C), this new profile is qualified by the customer at their own risk. In any case, the profile has to be within the
“maximum” profile limit described in the table below.

Note:
The temperature mentioned in the above table is measured at the top of the device package.
The component is limited to a maximum of three passes through this solder profile.
As the device package is not sealed, only a dry re-flow process should be used (such as convection re-flow).
Vapor phase re-flow is not suitable for this type of optical component.
The device is an optical component and as such, it should be treated carefully. This would typically include using a ‘no-wash’ assembly process.

Handling and storage precautions
Handling and storage precautions
Shock precaution
Sensor modules house numerous internal components that are susceptible to shock damage. If a unit is subject to excessive shock, is dropped on the floor, or a tray/reel of units is dropped on the floor, it must be rejected, even if no apparent damage is visible.
Part handling
Handling must be done with non-marring ESD safe carbon, plastic, or teflon tweezers. Ranging modules are susceptible to damage or contamination. The customer is advised to use a clean assembly process after removing the tape from the parts, and until a protective cover glass is mounted.
The sensor apertures are protected by a liner. This liner must be removed to ensure proper performance in the final device. The liner should be removed at the latest possible step of the assembly process to help protect the sensor from foreign material during the assembly process.
Compression force
A maximum compressive load of 25 N should be applied on the module.
Moisture sensitivity level
Moisture sensitivity is level 3 (MSL) as described in IPC/JEDEC JSTD-020-C.
