which sensor is in X-NCULEO-53L8A1

Icanguess · ‎2025-07-02

There are three types of sensor in vl53l8 family, VL53L8CA, VL53L8CH and VL53L8CX. It seems like sensor in X-NCULEO-53L8A1 is VL53L8CA, but the relevant documents and resources are very few. so what should i read as a reference? what is the diffrence among the three sensors?

CA can handle CX and CH features as a super-product.

Thanks for your reply, qshao.1. I know where to find DB AN. But compared to CH and CX, CA's document is less detailed, so i want to know if i can refer to ch and cx for more information and the different among them.
