Functional description

It is assumed in the rest of the document that the host application is controlling the VL6180

device through it’s C API.

For a more detailed explanation of the API functions please refer to the documentation that

is supplied with the API.

The API is available on request from ST.

2.1

Ranging

The VL6180 uses a simple pipe architecture to achieve range measurement.

System state diagram

Figure 7 describes the main operating states of the VL6180. Hardware standby is the reset

state (GPIO0=0)(a). The device is held in reset until GPIO0 is de-asserted. Note that the

device will not respond to I2C communication in this mode. When GPIO0=1, the device

enters software standby after the internal MCU boot sequence has completed.

a. Use of GPIO0 is optional
