ams OSRAM TMF8806 1D Time-of-Flight (ToF) Sensor
Innovative sensor in a single modular package
ams OSRAM features their TMF8806, a 1D Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor that has been developed to remove the barriers of previous single-zone dToF devices including TMF8701, TMF8801 & TMF8805. There is no FW download required to operate this device, saving host MCU memory space, reducing startup time and saving overall system power by enabling customers to quickly startup the device and make measurements in a few milliseconds. This ULP capability means that customers can employ dToF devices in ultra low power applications such as battery powered sanitary flush / soap dispensers while maximizing battery life.
