The MLX75026 QVGA is the second member of the third generation of fully integrated optical time-of-flight (ToF) sensor ICs. It is compatible with the MLX75027 VGA resolution ToF sensor IC. Thanks to an elementary triple low voltage supply architecture, the sensor enables the design of very compact 3D cameras. Target applications include automotive driver monitoring (DMS), in-cabin monitoring (ICM), exterior cocooning as well as robotics, autonomous transport (AGVs), people and 3D object detection in industry, retail, logistics and smart cities. In automotive interior sensing use cases, while one VGA resolution sensor covers the full interior of a car, the MLX75026 QVGA ToF sensor IC offers a similar resolution for single-seat areas e.g. for driver monitoring, body position, occupancy classification, etc.

The sensor features a QVGA (320x240) pixel array and comes in a small package size and small ¼” optical format. Its full compatibility with the VGA ToF sensor highly facilitates the reuse of existing software, which eases migration paths between cost-effective QVGA and more high-end VGA solutions.

An EVK75026 evaluation kit is available to get started with the MLX75026 QVGA ToF sensor IC.

The MLX75026 is also available with an integrated 940nm band pass filter. The integrated infrared bandpass filter simplifies the module design and manufacturing, while also increasing the choice of suitable IR-friendly lenses.
