The CAP1133 is a 3-channel capacitive touch sensor with 3 LED drivers. This device offers a wide variety of button and proximity functionality, making it simple for designers to add aesthetically ...

Continuous touch-sense auto calibration through any dielectric; Flexible STN-LCD or Matrix LED Driver combinations with 64 Brightness levels; Variety of additional peripheral functions for flexible ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

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 sensing provides a robust alternative to traditional mechanical switches. However, some applications cannot accommodate the physical implementation of a printed circuit board directly under ...

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 ...

Zac has been writing about Android as a hobby since he was a teenager and fulfilled his ambition of doing so professionally when he joined Android Police as a Reviewer in 2020. Zac specializes in ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...
