This is amazing. A package about the size of a 1206 resistor that has a vcsel laser, a photodiode, laser driver, and time-of-flight electronics.
Great Scott!!

Wow! with spad detector.. cool. Any idea how much? ~$500? (a guess)

Give or take a factor of 50, yes.
$2.56 if you buy 5000 from digikey, $5.46 of you buy one
The unit price of an eval board is $15.
ST has a visitors center in their lobby in Santa Clara, full of all sorts of fun toys.
They should make one with electrical connections instead of optics so you could make a TDR out of it.
Great!

I'd like to get at the internals of the 900nm spad.
