Ultra-fast distance sensor

STMicroelectronics has launched their second-generation distance senor VL53L0, which is based on STM’s popular FlightSense technology. This sensor is suitable for use in smartphones and tablets to make quick distance measurements for an integrated camera, but it can also be used in robots, drones and wearables.

Time was when audio engineers carefully crafted amplifier circuits using time-honoured analog principles and any frequency greater than 20 kHz appearing in the circuit was a no-no, or at least an unwanted design ‘feature’ that ...
