High-Resolution Multi-Zone Sensing with the TMF8829 Direct Time-of-Flight Sensor

Presence detection with highest precision in 3D depth sensing for robotics, mobile & consumer applications. ams OSRAM’s new TMF8829 direct time-of-flight (dToF) sensor redefines 3D depth measurement with configurable resolution up to 48×32 pixels, a detection range up to 11 meters, and an 80° field of view - all in a compact 5.7 × 2.9 × 1.5 mm module.

Application areas:

• Depth image for object detection and scene mapping


• Gesture recognition on over-ear headphones


• Cup size measurement for coffee machines and other smart appliances


• Industrial robots and logistics (e.g., food item identification for inventory management)


• Camera autofocus for mobile phones and smart wearables
