onsemi SECO-RANGEFINDER-GEVK SiPM dToF LIDAR

onsemi SECO-RANGEFINDER-GEVK SiPM Direct Time of Flight (dToF) LIDAR is a single-point range finder development kit for cost-optimized industrial and commercial applications. This kit is based on the NIR SiPM from onsemi (RB series) and integrates all the essential sub-systems for the applications. These sub-systems include laser and reference circuit (Tx), receiving circuit (Rx), power management systems, and core FPGA and UART communication. The SECO-RANGEFINDER-GEVK kit is FDA certified and features a multifunctional GUI. This enables a complete evaluation of the range-finding performance and the adjustment of system variables. The variables consist of the buffer number of pulses or the bias voltage for the SiPM-RB photomultiplier. Typical applications include indoor navigation and range-finding (up to 23m), collision detection, and 3D mapping.
