8 Laser safety considerations
The VL6180X contains a laser emitter and corresponding drive circuitry. The laser output is
designed to remain within Class 1 laser safety limits under all reasonably foreseeable
conditions including single faults in compliance with IEC 60825-1:2007. The laser output will
remain within Class 1 limits as long as the STMicroelectronics recommended device
settings are used and the operating conditions specified in this datasheet are respected.
The laser output power must not be increased by any means and no optics should be used
with the intention of focusing the laser beam.
