This project is a reference design for a PCB that utilizes the TMF8801−1BMTMF8801-1BM time-of-flight (ToF) sensor from ams-OSRAM. The design includes several key electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, voltage regulators, and GPIO connectors. The TMF8801 ToF sensor measures the time it takes for light to travel to an object and reflect back, enabling precise distance measurement.
Key Design Elements Voltage Regulation
  • The AP2112K−3.3TRG1AP2112K-3.3TRG1 voltage regulator is used to supply a stable 3.3V to the various components, including the TMF8801 sensor.
MOSFETs
  • Two BSS138BSS138 MOSFETs (labeled Q1 and Q2) are used to manage the logic signals.
Connectors
  • Connectors such as SM04B−SRSS−TBSM04B-SRSS-TB (referenced as J1 and J2) are used for interfacing the board with external I2C devices and power sources.
Capacitors
  • Multiple capacitors (C1, C2, C3, C4, and C6) are included for filtering and stabilizing voltages. Typical values are 0.1μF for decoupling capacitors and 10μF for bulk capacitors.
Resistors
  • Resistors with various values (1kΩ, 10kΩ) are used for pull-up/pull-down purposes and current limiting.
Nets and Connectivity
  • The schematic defines specific nets (e.g., VCC, GND, SCL, SDA) that interconnect the components to ensure the correct supply, control, and communication pathways.
Key Connections and Components Power Supply
  • VCC: The main supply voltage required by the voltage regulator and other components.
  • 3V3: The regulated 3.3V output from the voltage regulator powering the logic circuitry and the TMF8801.
Communication and Control
  • I2C Interface:
    • SCL: Clock line for the I2C interface.
    • SDA: Data line for the I2C interface.
Component Connections
  • Voltage Regulator (U1U1):
    • Connect U1:VIN to VCC.
    • Connect U1:GND to GND.
    • Connect U1:VOUT to multiple 3V3 points.
  • TMF8801 ToF Sensor (IC1IC1):
    • Connect IC1:VDDC, VDD, and VDDV to 3V3.
    • Connect IC1:GND, GNDC, and GNDV to GND.
    • Connect IC1:SCL to Net: Net 5.
    • Connect IC1:SDA to Net: Net 14.
    • Connect IC1:EN to Net: Net 4.
Assumptions
  • The voltage source is assumed to be a stable 5V supply that gets regulated down to 3.3V to power the sensor and logic.
  • The I2C communication interface is used for controlling and reading data from the TMF8801 sensor.

    This is a reference design of a PCB utilizing the TMF8801-1BM time-of-flight (ToF) sensor from ams-OSRAM. It comprises electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, voltage regulators, and GPIO connectors. The logic signals are managed via Mosfets BSS138 while the Sensor IC is powered & controlled by a 3.3V AP2112K Voltage Regulator. #industrialSensing #referenceDesign #lzer #I2C #osramusa #template #reference-design
