Getting started with the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 expansion board for STM32 Nucleo
based on the VL53L4ED
Introduction
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 is an expansion board for any STM32 Nucleo development board equipped with the Arduino R3
connectors. It provides a complete evaluation kit that allows you to learn, evaluate, and develop applications using the
VL53L4ED Time-of-Flight high-accuracy proximity sensor with extended temperature capability.
The expansion board is delivered with a cover glass holder in which you can fit three different spacers of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mm
height below the cover glass to simulate various air gaps. A small oval cover glass fitting the sensor is included.
Several ST expansion boards can be stacked through the Arduino connectors, which allow, for example, the development of
VL53L4ED applications with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interfaces.

Safety considerations
1.1.1
Electrostatic precautions
Warning:
Take electrostatic precautions, including ground straps, when using the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3
expansion board. Failure to prevent electrostatic discharge could damage the device.
Figure 2. Electrostatic logo
1.1.2
Laser safety considerations
The VL53L4ED contains a laser emitter and the corresponding drive circuitry.
The laser output is designed to remain within Class 1 laser safety limits under all reasonable foreseeable
conditions, including single faults, in compliance with the IEC 60825-1:2014 (third edition).
The laser output remains within Class 1 limits as long as you use the STMicroelectronics recommended device
settings and respect the operating conditions specified in the data sheet.
The laser output power must not be increased and no optics should be used with the intention of focusing the
laser beam.

Spacers and covers
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 expansion board is delivered with:
•
•
•
three spacers of 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, and 1 mm height, used to simulate different air gaps between the
VL53L4ED and the rectangular-shaped cover glass;
an oval-shaped cover glass to simulate the integration of the VL53L4ED into the customer's final product;
two six-pin headers that allow connecting the two breakout boards to the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 expansion
board.
Attention:
The VL53L4ED is delivered with a liner to prevent potential foreign material from piercing the module holes
during the assembly process. Remove this liner before use.

Using the expansion board

Using the expansion board
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 expansion board allows the user to test the VL53L4ED sensor functionality, to program it
and to understand how to develop an application using this sensor.
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 integrates:
•
•
•
Important:
UM3222 - Rev 1
the VL53L4ED sensor;
Arduino UNO R3 connectors;
Connectors for SATEL-VL53L4ED optional breakout boards;
Program a microcontroller to control the VL53L4ED through the I2C bus.
The application software and an example of the C-ANSI source code are available on the sensor web page.
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 expansion board can be connected to the STM32 Nucleo development board through
the Arduino UNO R3 connectors (CN5, CN6, CN8, and CN9) as shown in Figure 4.

Breakout boards
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 package does not include the VL53L4ED breakout boards.
You can purchase them in a pack of two PCBs as SATEL-VL53L4ED.
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 supplies the VL53L4ED breakout boards at 3.3 V (see Figure 4).
For mechanical integration purposes, it could be interesting to use the mini PCB by breaking the SATELVL53L4ED along the red line as shown in the figure below. It is easier to integrate this setup into a customer's
device thanks to its small size.
Figure 5. SATEL-VL53L4ED
The SATEL-VL53L4ED boards can be directly plugged onto the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 through the two 6-pin
headers (see Figure 6).
As an alternative, they can be connected to the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 by using the mini PCB through flying wires
(see Figure 7).

Graphical user interface (GUI) and programming example for the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3

Graphical user interface (GUI) and programming example for the XNUCLEO-53L4A3
To evaluate the VL53L4ED device performance, use the related GUI or the X-CUBE-TOF1.
The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 expansion board requires the NUCLEO-F401RE development board to use the GUI or
run the ranging examples included in the X-CUBE-TOF1.
Important:
UM3222 - Rev 1
Despite the fact that the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 can be stacked on any STM32 Nucleo board equipped the Arduino
R3 connectors, the GUI is designed to work with the NUCLEO-F401RE only.
Download the GUI (in the Tools and Software tab of the X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 web page) or the X-CUBE-TOF1 to
evaluate the VL53L4ED.
