Broadcom AFBR-S50x ToF Distance & Motion Sensor Modules

Broadcom AFBR-S50x Time-of-Flight (ToF) Distance and Motion Sensor Modules are multi-pixel optical measurement sensor modules based on the optical ToF principle. These sensors incorporate an integrated infrared laser light source and an internal clock source. The AFBR-S50x sensors feature up to 3kHz fast measurement rates, below ±1% accuracy error, and an unambiguous range up to 100m in 2f mode. Typical applications include distance measurement, human-machine interfaces, robotics, automation and control, security surveillance, inventory monitoring, and drone navigation.
