VL53L1X Mode
•Autonomous mode is using sigma delta mechanism to measure distance:
Averages all targets in the full FoV
Allows multiple ROI
This mode is called Timed measurement, means ranging continuously and autonomously with a
programmable inter-measurement period.
7
Note: Inter measurement period is start ranging1 to ranging2. Inter measurement timing is in b/w one
ranging result to another.
Autonomous functionalities
•Autonomous ranging with selectable timing
budget from 20ms to 1000ms.
•In short distance, minimum timing budget is
20ms.
•Ideally, for all distance modes, minimum
timing budget is 33ms.
•If the inter-measurement timing is shorter
than the timing budget, once the device
completes the ranging, the next ranging
starts immediately.

Timing budget Ranging characteristics (tbc)
•VL53L1X running in low power autonomous mode,
no data sharing through I2C, just GPIO level change if
human / object is detected.
•4 detection thresholds criteria :
•Above High
•Below Low
•In Window (<=High AND >=Low)
•Out of Window (>High OR <Low)
•No target ( Interrupt is generated when no
target is present.)
Key figures
•No I2C data output (low
power mode)
•GPIO1 level changes (INT)
to wake-up the host
•Host can then make
VL53L1 switch to active
mode for full ranging
capabilities
INT
Key figures
•ROI size is possible ( 4x4 to 16x16 spad
array)
Timing Budget
•Timing Budget and Inter measurement budget statically configured as
part of Initialized process.
•It allows user to configure timing budget and Inter measurement budget
by calling sub sequentAPI in Application level.
•For Example : In Init time, let say default timing budget set to 41ms and inter
measurement timing budget set to 500ms.
•If user wants to update with new value then call it by followingAPI subsequently.
•VL53L1_SetMeasurementTimingBudgetMicroSeconds(Dev, 50000); // 50ms
•VL53L1_SetInterMeasurementPeriodMilliSeconds(Dev, 1000); //1sec
