VL53L7CX
Description
Specially designed for applications requiring an ultrawide FoV, the VL53L7CX Time-of-Flight sensor offers a 90° diagonal FoV. Based on ST's FlightSense technology, the VL53L7CX incorporates an efficient metasurface lens
(DOE) placed on the laser emitter enabling the projection of a 60° x 60° square FoV onto the scene.
Its multizone capability provides a matrix of 8x8 zones (64 zones) and can work at fast speeds (60 Hz) up to
350 cm.
Thanks to the autonomous mode with programmable distance threshold combined to the ultrawide FoV, the
VL53L7CX is perfect for any application requiring low-power user detection. ST's patented algorithms and innovative module construction allow the VL53L7CX to detect, in each zone, multiple objects within the FoV with depth understanding. ST histogram algorithms ensure cover glass crosstalk immunity beyond 60 cm.
Derived from the VL53L5CX, the pinouts and drivers of both sensors are compatible, which ensures a simple migration from one sensor to the other.
Like all Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors based on ST's FlightSense technology, the VL53L7CX records, in each zone, an absolute distance regardless of the target color and reflectance.
Housed in a miniature reflowable package that integrates a SPAD array, the VL53L7CX achieves the best ranging performance in various ambient lighting conditions, and for a wide range of cover glass materials.
All of ST's ToF sensors integrate a VCSEL that emits a fully invisible 940 nm IR light, which is totally safe for the eyes (Class 1 certification).
The VL53L7CX is the perfect sensor for any application requiring ultrawide FoV like robotics, smart speakers, video projectors, content management. The combination of the multizone capability and the 90° FoV can enhance new use-cases like gesture recognition, SLAM for robotics, and low power system activation for smart building.

Power up slew
To ensure proper operation of the module, the following minimum slew rates on the supplies must be met for correct operation of the power on reset (POR) circuitry. The POR circuitry triggers at 0.9 V, but the supplies should reach their operation levels in accordance with the slew rates listed in the table below.
Figure 9. Power up slew
Note:
Note:
Note:
2.3.2
The minimum reset time is the minimum time required for the device ROM to load and boot up after IOVDD reaches the POR rising threshold. The supply must have reached the minimum operating level (1.6 V) within this time.
The minimum slew rate on the IOVDD is the same regardless of 1.8 V or 2.8 V operation.
The AVDD rise time is determined by the internal analogue levels which must be stable for correct operation.

VL53L7CX
I2C control interface
I

C control interface
This section specifies the control interface. The I 2 C 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
I 2 C bus on the VL53L7CX has a maximum speed of 1 Mbits/s and uses a device 8-bit address of 0x52.
Figure 10. Data transfer protocol
Information is packed in 8-bit packets (bytes) always followed by an acknowledge bit, Ac for VL53L7CX acknowledge and Am for master acknowledge (host bus master). The internal data are 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.
Figure 11. VL53L7CX I 2 C device address: 0x52
DS13865 - Rev 3
All serial interface communications with the Time-of-Flight sensor must begin with a start condition. The
VL53L7CX 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.
page 11/40
DS13865 - Rev 3
Figure 12. VL53L7CX data format (write)
VL53L7CX
I2C control interface
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.
Figure 13. VL53L7CX data format (read)
At the end of each byte, in both read and write message sequences, an acknowledge is issued by the receiving device (that is, the VL53L7CX 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.

Measurement conditions
The following criteria and test conditions apply to all the characterisation results detailed in this section unless specified otherwise:
The specified target fills 100% of the field of view of the device (in all zones).
Targets used are Munsell N4.75 (17%) and Munsell N9.5 (88%).
AVDD is 2.8 V, IOVDD is 1.8 V.
Nominal ambient temperature is 23°C.
Maximum range capability is based on a 90% detection rate
.
Range accuracy figures are based on 2.7 sigma ie 99.3% of measurements are within the specified accuracy.
Tests are performed in the dark and at 2 W/m 2 target illumination (940 nm). A 2 W/m 2 target irradiance at
940 nm is equivalent to 5 kLux daylight.
All tests are performed without cover glass with a crosstalk margin set to 0 kcps.
The sensor relies on default calibration data.
The device is controlled through the API using the default driver settings.
1. Detection rate is a statistical value indicating the worst case percentage of measurements that return a valid ranging. For example, taking 1000 measurements with 90% detection rate gives 900 valid distances. The 100 other distances may be outside the specification or flagged with an invalid target status.

Range offset drift over temperature
Selfheating or a change in ambient temperature increases silicon temperature, which results in a range offset drift.
This may be minimized by performing a periodic autocalibration, resulting in a typical drift of 0.15 mm/°C.
The autocalibration is done automatically when a new ranging session is started. A stop/start of the device is required if the device is already streaming.

Caution:
Laser safety considerations
The VL53L7CX 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 60825-1:2007 and IEC 60825-1:2014.
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 VL53L7CX in a clean environment.
To help avoid any foreign material contamination at final assembly level the modules are shipped in a tape and reel format with a protective liner.
The liner is compliant with reflow at 260 °C (as per JEDEC-STD-020E).
The liner must be removed during assembly of the customer device, just before mounting the cover glass.

Pb-free solder reflow process
Pb-free solder reflow process
The table and figure 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 the VL53L7CX package.
For any reason, if a customer must perform a reflow profile which is different from the “recommended” one
(especially peak >240 °C), the new profile must be 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:
Note:
Note:
The component should be limited to a maximum of three passes through this solder profile.
As the VL53L7CX package is not sealed, only a dry reflow process should be used (such as convection reflow).
Vapor phase reflow is not suitable for this type of optical component.
The VL53L7CX is an optical component and as such, it should be treated carefully. This would typically include using a ‘no-wash’ assembly process.

Shock precautions
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 until a protective cover glass is mounted.
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.
If devices are stored out of the packaging for more than 168 hours, the devices should be baked before use. The optimum bake recommended is at + 90°C for a minimum of 6 hours.
