Single-Point dToF Ranging Module 20m Range
$20.00
1. 20m Single-Point dToF Ranging
Measures distance from 0.2m to 20.0m using direct Time-of-Flight technology, making it suitable for obstacle detection, proximity sensing, altitude measurement, and compact depth-sensing applications.
2. Reliable Outdoor Performance Under Strong Light
Built with an infrared-enhanced SPAD sensor and TCSPC-based ranging algorithm, the module supports detection up to 12m under 100,000 Lux ambient light, helping maintain stable ranging performance in bright outdoor conditions.
3. Up to 250Hz High-Speed Output
Supports configurable output frame rates of 50fps, 100fps, and 250fps, enabling fast distance updates for moving objects, mobile robots, UAVs, and real-time sensing systems.
4. Dual-Target Detection with Histogram Ranging
The integrated histogram-based algorithm can detect and output distance information for two targets, improving sensing flexibility in scenes where foreground and background objects may appear at the same time.
5. Compact Module with UART and I2C Interfaces
With a size of 21 × 15 × 7.87mm and a weight of 1.35g, the module is easy to integrate into embedded devices. It supports UART up to 921600bps and I2C 400kbps, with reflectivity correction and temperature compensation.
Overview
The DTS6012M is a compact single-point dToF ranging module for embedded distance sensing. It supports a 0.2m to 20m measurement range, 250Hz configurable output, and reliable detection up to 12m under 100,000 Lux strong light.
Built with an infrared-enhanced SPAD sensor, histogram-based ranging, and fast TDC architecture, the module provides stable distance output for AGV obstacle avoidance, UAV altitude sensing, industrial detection, and smart perception devices.
The module supports both UART and I2C interfaces, with streaming and request-response output modes. Its compact 21 × 15 × 7.87mm size and 1.35g weight make it easy to integrate into small embedded systems. It can also be used with the CamThink NE Sensor Expansion Board for faster prototyping.

Interface & Data Output
The DTS6012M supports both streaming mode and request-response mode. In streaming mode, the module outputs data automatically according to the configured frame rate. In request-response mode, the host system sends a command and receives the measurement result.
Distance output uses 2 bytes and is reported in millimeters. The module also supports reflectivity correction and temperature compensation to improve measurement stability across different target materials and operating conditions.
Installation Notes
When adding a protective cover, use a material with high transmittance at 905nm. A cover material with >95% transmittance and <5% haze is recommended.
To reduce internal optical crosstalk, keep a 0.1mm to 0.2mm gap between the cover and the front surface of the module.
The module is designed to operate within Class 1 laser safety limits under reasonable expected operating conditions.
Recommended Applications
- AGV and mobile robot obstacle detection
- UAV altitude measurement and landing assistance
- Industrial level sensing and object detection
- Conveyor counting and presence detection
- Projector autofocus and smart device sensing
- Embedded smart perception and sensor prototyping
