Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...
Some sensors output a processed analog signal that is linear with respect to the physical quantity being measured. Some perform quantization as well and provide a digital output. Though it is easy to ...
The global capacitive sensors market is witnessing significant expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of multi-touch capacitive sensing technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and ...
A capacitive sensor is a type of electronic device that detects and measures various physical properties by utilizing the principle of capacitance. Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor, which ...
Capacitive sensors supply high accuracy at a relatively low cost. But system designers attempting to use them have been forced to first convert the capacitance to a voltage, then convert the voltage ...
Silicon Labs has introduced the TouchXpress family of fixed-function controllers that are claimed to provide the fastest, easiest way to add low-power capacitive touch interfaces to embedded designs.
Given the extremely small capacitance changes measured, it is no surprise that noise can wreak havoc if allowed to couple in between electrode and IC. Noise can cause digital data corruption via ...
