Product details
Overview
AEK-SNS-2TOFM1 from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade evaluation board featuring two VL53L1CX Time-of-Flight sensors and an SPC582B60E1 32-bit Power Architecture MCU, designed specifically for foot-gesture–activated power liftgate control. It operates from a 12 V battery bus, supports CAN bus interface for vehicle integration, and includes preloaded firmware enabling real-time gesture detection via FlightSense technology.
For engineers reviewing the AEK-SNS-2TOFM1 datasheet, AEK-SNS-2TOFM1 pinout, AEK-SNS-2TOFM1 application, or AEK-SNS-2TOFM1 equivalent, this board delivers validated motion-sensing functionality for trunk access systems - with integrated I²C sensor interfacing, CAN4 transceiver (L9616), TTL serial bridge, and AutoDevKit ecosystem compatibility for rapid prototyping.
Technical Context
The board implements dual VL53L1CX ToF sensors spaced 23 cm apart to enable differential distance mapping and robust foot-motion classification. Sensor data is acquired via I²C (PB8/PB9) and processed by the SPC582B60E1 MCU running gesture-detection algorithms optimized for low-latency response in automotive body electronics.
Communication is handled through CAN4 (PA10/PA11) using the L9616 transceiver and a TTL-level serial interface (U5 L9616) for debugging or host coordination. Power regulation includes LD39100 (2.8 V for sensors), LD1117S50TR (5 V), and LD1117S33TR (3.3 V) LDOs, all fed from 12 V battery input.

FAQ
Does AEK-SNS-2TOFM1 support custom gesture training?
No - the board ships with fixed firmware implementing a predefined foot-sweep gesture for liftgate activation. Custom algorithm development requires SPC5-Studio IDE, STSW-AUTODEVKIT libraries, and access to the SPC582B60E1 source code framework; no on-board ML accelerator or retrainable model is included.
What is the maximum reliable detection range of the dual ToF sensors?
The VL53L1CX sensors deliver accurate ranging up to 4 m in standard mode and 1.3 m in high-speed mode. With 23 cm baseline spacing and differential processing, the system reliably detects foot motion within 0.5–1.2 m from the bumper - validated per DB4716 for liftgate use cases.
Can AEK-SNS-2TOFM1 operate without CAN bus connection?
Yes - the board functions autonomously with onboard LED indicators (LED2/LED3 for left/right ToF status, LED4 for standby). CAN is optional for vehicle integration; gesture output can also be monitored via TTL serial or JTAG debug interface without CAN bus attachment.
Is the SPC582B60E1 MCU accessible for full firmware reprogramming?
Yes - the board includes a standard 14-pin JTAG connector (J3) compatible with SPC5-LINK debugger and SPC5-Studio. The MCU flash is fully reprogrammable; preloaded firmware resides in internal Flash and can be overwritten using ST's SPC5 GCC toolchain and AutoDevKit HAL drivers.
