Hello,
For a project I would like to use the VL53L4CD or VL53L4ED to measure distances in the range of ~1 cm to 80 cm. The expected ambient temperatures can vary (maximum between -10°C and +80°C, although the temperature will usually be in the range of 0°C to 50°C). Initial tests showed promising measurement results under real conditions.
The project requires a minimum service life of 10 years for the components used. I know from other projects that such a long operating life is often a problem e.g. for laser diodes.
Are there any recommended strategies for maximizing the sensor's service life?
Should I e.g. provide a cut-off option for the sensor's supply voltage to protect it when it does not need to be active? Or would the HW standby state have the same effect?
Thank you in advance for your help.
