Gen 3 single-chip VGA time-of-flight - MLX75027
Product description
The MLX75027 automotive time-of-flight sensor supports up to VGA resolution. The sensor, alongside the 90 nm BSI VGA pixel array, provides the control signals for the illumination unit and has a MIPI CSI-2 high speed serial interface to stream data to the host processor.
Thanks to a simple supply system, with only three positive voltage domains, the sensor simplifies the design of the supply unit and together with a low power dissipation allows a very compact 3D camera.
The MLX75027 supports up to 100 MHz illumination modulation frequency, which makes it well suited for VCSELs illumination and has a built-in temperature sensor.
The EVK75027 evaluation kit is available to evaluate the MLX75027 automotive VGA ToF sensor.

3D ToF Sensor-based Eye-tracking Solutions for Driver Monitoring Systems (Demo)
Eyeware and Melexis have joined forces to create an advanced driver monitoring system (DMS). This collaboration demonstrates the robustness and wider range of head movement that can be achieved using Time-of-Flight technology, compared with current driver monitoring systems.
Interior sensing (driver and in-cabin monitoring) with the latest time-of-flight technology
During his online presentation at Autosens in September 2020, regional marketing manager for time-of-flight solutions at Melexis, Cliff De Locht, tells us more about the newest evolutions in time-of-flight (ToF) technology and the automotive interior sensing use cases this enables: you will learn about driver monitoring system (DMS) performance based on ToF cameras (world’s first ToF based DMS demonstrator) and emerging in-cabin monitoring (ICM) use cases with ToF cameras (world’s first “wide-FOV” ToF based ICM demonstrator).
Webinar - introduction to continuous wave time-of-flight
Time-of-flight is gaining popularity in several domains such as the automotive (both interior and exterior use cases) and the industrial domain, but also in smart applications (e.g. smart vacuum cleaner). This webinar clarifies the concepts you need to know to understand the technology behind continuous-wave time-of-flight (cwToF), and especially the principle of the pixel. We also provide an overview of the cwToF system and recommendations to get started. The webinar is accessible to everyone with an interest in time-of-flight technology and visuals and animations are added to facilitate the explanations.
