Capacitive sensor technology has evolved markedly over recent years, underpinned by advancements in integrated circuit design and novel measurement approaches. These sensors function by detecting ...

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 ...

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 ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

POSITAL has added an optional analog electronic interface to its range of explosion-proof IXARC rotary encoders. POSITAL has added an optional analog electronic interface to its range of ...

Engineers developing heavy equipment such as tractors, cranes, wood chippers, and construction equipment need to include incline sensors and indicators—both to ensure that workers do not operate the ...

• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.
