This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for ST’s VL53L5CX laser-ranging sensor, which offers fast and accurate ranging up to 4 m through a digital I²C interface. It can measure absolute distances to multiple targets simultaneously across multiple zones, providing enough data for a depth map with up to 8×8 resolution. The board includes a 3.3 V linear regulator and level-shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 2.8 V to 5.5 V, and the 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards. Note: This is not recommended for use with 8-bit MCUs; for such applications, consider the VL53L1X or VL53L0X carrier.

This powerful synchronous switching step-up/step-down regulator efficiently produces 5 V from input voltages between 2.8 V and 22 V. Its ability to convert both higher and lower input voltages makes it useful for applications where the power supply voltage can vary greatly, as with batteries that start above but discharge below 5 V. The board measures 0.35″ × 0.475″, has a typical efficiency of 85% to 95%, and can supply typical continuous output currents between 1 A and 2.5 A depending on the input voltage.
