Functional description

2.1

System functional description

Figure 4 shows the system level functional description. The host customer application is

controlling the VL53L0X device using an API (Application Programming Interface).

The API is exposing to the customer application a set of high level functions that allows

control of the VL53L0X Firmware (FW) like initialization/calibration, ranging Start/Stop,

choice of accuracy, choice of ranging mode.

The API is a turnkey solution, it consists of a set of C functions which enables fast

development of end user applications, without the complication of direct multiple register

access. The API is structured in a way that it can be compiled on any kind of platform

through a well isolated platform layer.

The API package allows the user to take full benefit of VL53L0X capabilities.

A detailed description of the API is available in the VL53L0X API User Manual (separate

document, DocID029105).

VL53L0X FW fully manages the hardware (HW) register accesses.

Section 2.2: Firmware state machine description details the Firmware state machine.
