The ZSSC3123 cLite™ is a CMOS IC that is intended for accurate capacitance to digital conversion. It has a maximum target input capacitance of 260 pF and sampling rates as fast as 0.7 ms @ 8-bit; 1.6 ...

As with traditional mechanical switches, a user's interface experience with a capacitive sensor is directly related to the way the sensor responds (sensitivity) upon contact under all operating ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

The QST108 is the first in a series of capacitive touch sensors from STMicroelectronics using a pure digital, firmware-based solution that implements the Quantum Research Group's patented ...

The National University of Singapore and Politecnico di Torino teamed up at ISSCC 2021 to describe a capacitive sensor interface designed to run from harvested energy, needing only a supply voltage ...

AMS has announced a configurable capacitive sensing front end which allows speed and resolution to be traded to optimise designs. Called PCap04, it can capture and digitise 50,000 times per second at ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Capacitive displacement sensors span a wide range of resolution, from the touchscreen sensors which can only detect displacement as a binary state, all the way to the sensors in semiconductor fabs ...

Candle clocks were once an easy way to build a clock without using complex mechanical devices: just observe how quickly a thin candle burns down, mark an identical candle with periodic gradations, and ...
