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 ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

Emerging as the industry’s first single-chip, sigma-delta capacitance-to-digital converters (CDCs) for interfacing with capacitive sensors, the AD7745, AD7746, and AD7747 devices integrate all analog ...

In many electronics products such as consumer, home appliance, automotive, industrial etc., capacitive touch buttons are fast replacing traditional mechanical buttons. Although capacitive buttons have ...

Capacitive sensor interfaces are critical to the accurate measurement of physical parameters such as pressure, humidity, and force across a broad range of applications including biomedical devices, ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

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 ...

In many electronics products such as consumer, home appliance, automotive, industrial etc., capacitive touch buttons are fast replacing traditional mechanical buttons. Although capacitive buttons have ...

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 ...

When Ars’ own Lee Hutchinson and Peter Bright tried out the Virtuix Omni a few months ago, the demo made use of a detached Kinect sensor to track players' walking and running motions. At CES this week ...
