The line of capacitive proximity sensors with potentiometer adjustment for sensitivity allows sensing of metal and nonmetal objects through insulating materials, such as wood or plastic. They are ...

Norwood, Mass. — Analog Devices, Inc.'s new families of capacitance-to-digital converters (CDCs) and impedance-to-digital converters (IDCs) simplify instrumentation and sensor design in industrial, ...

In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

Paul Whytock reports on integrated converters that tackle the signal-processing challenges of direct capacitance-to-digital and impedance-to-digital conversion. The world's first high-precision, ...

In the last Sensor Sense we looked at capacitive touch switches used for on/off control. But these switches are also found in capacitive touch sliders that can control various levels, such as volume ...

When it comes to touchpads, most OEMs buy complete subassemblies from outside vendors, essentially subcontracting the electronic design as well as the assembly. The AD7142 capacitance-to-digital ...
