Product introduction
Optical ToF 3D distance measurement sensor with up to 32 pixels within a full field of view of 12.4° x 6.2° up to 100m

The AFBR-S50 series is Broadcom's multi-pixel 3D distance measurement sensor platform based on the optical Time-of-Flight principle with up to 32 pixels within a full field of view (FoV) of up to 12.4° x 6.2°.
Best-in-class ambient light suppression makes all sensors suitable for use in bright outdoor environments above 100k lux.
All module types are fully drop-in compatible, have a small size of 12.4mm x 7.6mm x 7.9mm, use a single 5V power supply, and include an integrated clock source.
Data is transferred using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
System health monitoring is supported by built-in voltage and temperature sensors and a 33rd pixel with sophisticated feedback (reference pixel).
The sensor family is supported by a comprehensive Software Development Kit for ARM Cortex M0+ and above with extensive configuration and evaluation capabilities.
Frame rates up to 3kHz are supported depending on the microcontroller type and the number of pixels being evaluated.
With frame rates up to 100Hz, the distinct distance can be extended up to 100m by using Dual Frequency Mode (DFM).
