The TMF8829 supports multiple resolution modes – 8×8, 16×16, 32×32, and 48×32 – enabling flexible and high-accuracy environmental sensing. A combination of SPAD optics and a multi-lens array widens the Field of Illumination (FoI) for reliable coverage of larger scenes. Robust histogram and peak detection processing ensures accurate measurements even with contaminated or partially obstructed covers. The sensor can detect multiple objects along a single line of sight and provides distance values with a fine resolution of 0.25 mm.
For maximum system compatibility, the optical module features an I²C interface and for high-speed data output I3C and SPI interfaces are provided. Raw data including all algorithmic results and histograms can be streamed to the host system, making the sensor ideal for AI-supported processing. With flexible I/O supply options (1.2 V / 1.8 V / 3.0 V), the TMF8829 can be easily integrated into various platform architectures. The sensor operates reliably across a temperature range from –40 °C to +85 °C.
