SATEL-VL53L7CX Breakout Board
Data Brief
Breakout board based on the VL53L7CX Time-of-Flight 8x8 multizone ranging sensor with 90° FoV
The SATEL-VL53L7CX package includes two breakout boards, designed for easy integration into customer devices. The PCB embedding the VL53L7CX module is perforated, allowing developers to break off a mini-PCB for use in 3.3 V applications via flying wires. The VL53L7CH artificial enabler Time-of-Flight sensor is also supported. This design facilitates integration into development and evaluation devices due to its small size.

Breakout Boards
The breakout boards can be separated along perforations to utilize the mini-PCB format. This small form factor aids integration into customer devices. The VL53L7CX breakout boards can be directly plugged onto the X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 expansion board via two six-pin connectors, or connected using flying wires.
