Time of flight (ToF) sensors
Our time of flight products, tools, and development kits enable the next generation of optical sensing systems for factory automation, building automation and appliances. Fully customize every aspect of your design using TI’s time of flight chipsets in your long-range distance measurements, obstacle detection or avoidance applications.
System design flexibility
Detect near and far objects of various shapes, sizes, colors, materials and reflectivity levels in a wide or narrow field of view (FoV)
Precise distance measurements
Accurately detect objects with a 3 mm resolution at a range of 3 cm to 15 m
Target localization
Determine object distance and direction using up to 3 sensing zones
