ams OSRAM TMF8805 – 1D Time-of-Flight sensor with 940nm integrated IR VCSEL

The TMF8805 is a true direct time-of-flight sensor and processing system in a highly integrated modular package. It integrates a 940nm Class 1 eye-safe VCSEL, a high-sensitivity SPAD array, precision time-to-digital converter and a low-power microcontroller sub-system.

The embedded histogram algorithm can detect cover glass and objects behind glass, selecting the object with highest SNR while compensating for dirt and smudges on cover glass. This device is ideally suited to world-facing camera LDAF applications, user presence detection, collision avoidance, object detection and other applications in the range of 2 to 250cm.
