Industry-Leading Proximity Sensor from STMicroelectronics Brings Superior Distance Sensing to Mobile Phones, Consumer White Goods, and Industrial Applications
Geneva, October 8, 2014 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has revealed a new highly accurate optical range-finding module based on FlightSense™ Time-of-Flight technology that offers designers superior distance-measurement capability.
FlightSense™ provides accurate distance sensing by measuring the time for emitted light to reflect back from the target, whereas conventional sensors can only report reflected signal levels and not absolute distance. ST’s FlightSense™ technology brings unique advantages versus conventional infrared sensors; measuring longer ranges that are independent of the target reflectivity, at high frame rate and low power.
