Mouser Electronics, a global authorized distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today announced that it is now stocking the new TFS20-L single-point LiDAR module from Benewake.

The TFS20-L is a compact, fully integrated, single-channel direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) distance measurement module for service robots, consumer drones, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Available at Mouser, Benewake's TFS20-L LiDAR module features a compact, lightweight design and a high-sensitivity single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensor with enhanced infrared detection capability, enabling high-precision distance measurements up to 20 meters, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Most dToF sensors used in robots only detect obstacles on the horizontal line, making them less effective at detecting obstacles below the horizon.

The TFS20-L LiDAR can provide accurate measurement data even on surfaces with different reflectivity. The module has a sunlight resistance performance of 15 meters even at 100Klux and a reflectance compensation function.

Additionally, the TFS20-L ensures stable and efficient operation based on a fully integrated SPAD chip solution, histogram statistical algorithm, and high-speed TDC (time-to-digital converter) architecture.

The TFS20L LiDAR module features I²C and UART interfaces and operates from a single 3.3V power supply with built-in temperature compensation.

This module is ideally suited for small dToF applications due to its compact size and lightweight design, accurate long-range measurement capability, and excellent distance measurement performance even under high ambient light conditions.
