Intel and Semtech collaborate to develop LiDAR technology
20 May 2021
Semtech providing laser driver and transimpedance amplifier elements to support Intelâs RealSense LiDAR Camera L515.
Semtech says its laser drivers and programmable transimpedance amplifiers are being integrated into Intelâs RealSense LiDAR Camera L515, âenabling the creation of a power-efficient, high resolution consumer LiDAR.â
The partnersâ announcement adds, âThe collaboration between Intel RealSense technology and Semtechâs Signal Integrity Products Group has focused on enabling the L515 camera to work in low signal-to-noise ratio environments.
The TIAs feature low input referred noise, which allows the L515 to be a power-efficient, high-accuracy LiDAR system at a resolution of up to 23 million depth points per second.â

ST Microelectronics has developed a tiny MEMS mirror for Intel’s first solid state LiDAR laser imaging system.
Intel will use the micromachined (MEMS) mirror and a custom photodiode to scan a laser in the L515 RealSense LiDAR sensor at 30 frame/s (23Mpixel/s) and a range of 9m.
The 61mm diameter puck provides high-resolution scanning for industrial applications such as robotic arms for bin picking, volumetric measurements, logistics, and 3D scanning. The puck is 26mm high and weight 100g.
This is the first in a series of LiDAR products from Intel designed to be used with the company’s open‑source software development kit (SDK) 2.0 that offers a variety of wrappers supporting popular programming languages and platforms. Using the same SDK as all other current generation devices allows an easy transition from any of the previous RealSense depth cameras.
