The AS1716 capacitive-sensor-interface IC interfaces piezoelectronic capacitive sensors and finds use in automotive knock sensors. The device provides differential inputs; differential-to-single-ended ...

LONDON — ZMD AG (Dresden, Germany), a global supplier of analog and mixed-signal solutions for automotive, industrial, and medical applications, has expanded its family of capacitive sensor signal ...

Tactile sensors play a critical role in robotic intelligence and human-machine interaction. In this manuscript, we propose a hybrid tactile sensor by integrating a triboelectric sensing unit and a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

Flexible capacitive pressure sensors have gained widespread application in health monitoring, robotics, and structural diagnostics. However, conventional designs that rely on flat or micropatterned ...

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 ...
