General description

The TMF8828 is a direct time-of-flight (dToF) sensor in a single modular package with associated VCSEL. The dToF device is based on SPAD, TDC and histogram technology and achieves 5000 mm detection range. Due to its lens on the SPAD, it supports 3x3, 4x4, 3x6 and 8x8 multizone output data and a wide, dynamically adjustable, field of view. A multi-lens-array (MLA) inside the package above the VCSEL widens up the FoI (field of illumination). All processing of the raw data is performed on-chip and the TMF8828 provides distance information together with confidence values on its I2C interface.

This product suits for the following applications:

  • Laser Detect Auto-Focus (LDAF)
  • User presence detection
  • Industrial ranging
  • Level sensing
  • People counting
  • Object and collision avoidance
  • Inventory management
  • Proximity detection
