We stock many ST VL5 series ToF sensors (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=VL5), but it's always a good idea to peek at what else is available on the market. Here's a multi-zone Time of Flight sensor from ams OSRAM - the TMF8828 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ams-osram-usa-inc/TMF8828-1AM/16285671) with 8x8 zones and up to 5 meters detection. Here's a quick QT breakout for this sensor and the support circuitry so we can try it out. Coming soon.

we stock a pretty wide variety of ST ToF sensors these use a micro laser to bounce photos off objects for precision distance detection. the VL53L5 has 64 'zones' in an 8x8 grid as well as up-to-4 meter sensing distance. we spun it into this breakout board for a quick test.

Texas Instruments' LMH13000 is a high-speed, voltage-controlled current driver now available from Mouser Electronics. It supports continuous currents up to 1A and pulsed currents up to 5A with rise and fall times under 1ns, making it ideal for LiDAR, time-of-flight, optical sensors, and medical applications. Its HotRod package enables ultra-low inductance for faster switching, while integrated thermal shutdown ensures safety.

STMicroelectronics has revealed a new FlightSense multi-zone distance sensor with 90° field of view – the industry’s best and 33% larger than the previous generation. The optical sensors bring lifelike situational awareness to applications like home automation, domestic appliances, computers.
