Understanding Time-of-Flight Sensing

White Paper Overview 

Discover why direct time-of-flight (dToF) sensing is becoming a preferred technology for accurate short-range distance measurement up to 11 meters. This white paper explains the fundamentals of dToF sensing, compares it with other ranging technologies, and explores the operating principles that make it an attractive solution for modern electronic systems.

Readers will gain insights into the latest single- and multi-zone dToF sensor solutions from ams OSRAM, their key applications, and the critical design considerations required for successful implementation, including optical design. The paper also highlights available development tools, software, evaluation boards, and resources to help engineers accelerate their dToF sensor designs.

Ideal for both newcomers to time-of-flight sensing and experienced developers looking to optimize their next ranging application.
