Laser Diode Driver for
Automotive/Industrial
Time of Flight (ToF) Sensing

Equipped with a variety of features and protective circuit for enhanced performance of ToF systems

Overview

First utilized in mobile devices, Time of Flight (ToF) sensing is expanding its applications to automotive and industrial device markets.

As the market expands, requirements about the emitter, the light source, are diversifying. To meet those requirements, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) develops a versatile laser driver for ToF sensing performance in various use cases.

Features

A wide range of features that enhance depth sensing system performance

Features

・All-in-one solution for laser illumination on ToF system
・High-power and high-speed current output
・Supports Multi-Junction VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser)
・Illumination power control function
・Multi-serial interface (I2C/SPI)

Supports diverse protection features

Features

・ PD current monitor detects irregular/unintended emission
・ Detects irregular values of ITO conductive film resistance
・ Detects abnormal voltage in output terminals
・ Detects overheating, overvoltage and insufficient voltage

Complies with safety standards for automotive applications

We meet AEC-Q100 Grade 2, the standards for reliability testing of automotive electronic devices. We are also planning to develop our next-generation products that meet ASIL-B requirements of ISO 26262, the international standards for safety of road vehicles, by pursuing the development processes in compliance with these standards.
