Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein includes a distance-measuring unit for measuring a distance to an object located in a detection field based on a time-of-flight signal. The distance-measuring unit includes an emitter unit for emitting laser pulses, an optical unit coupling the emitter unit to the detection field, the optical unit configured to guide the laser pulses into the detection field during operation, and a receiver unit having a sensitive sensor surface for receiving laser pulses reflected at the object as echo pulses, wherein the receiver unit is coupled to the detection field by means of the optical unit such that the echo pulses received from the detection field are guided through the optical unit onto the sensor surface during operation.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a leadframe is provided. The leadframe may include connection strips arranged alongside one another, said connection strips being connected via one or a plurality of holding webs. The connection strips have a contact section in each case at their first end section. At least in each case two adjacent connection strips form a strip group. Provision is made of at least one gap region in the region of second end sections of the connection strips of a respective strip group for contacting an electronic component.
