Capacitive touch sensors are fast becoming an integral part of many electronic goods these days. Made popular by products like the Apple iPod adopting it, capacitive sensors have now become the ...

The CAP1114 is a multi-channel capacitive touch sensor and LED driver. This device integrates SMSC’s RightTouch™ technology and consists of 14 individual capacitive touch sensor inputs with ...

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 ...

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, ...

Expanding the PureTouch family of low power controllers are the LDS6003, LDS6005, LDS6023, LDS6025, and LDS6028, which target capacitive-touch applications in both mobile and non-mobile designs. The ...

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 ...

• Trapped acoustic resonance is most simply described with an analogy: the ringing of a bell. • Microprocessors control the frequency of the mechanical resonance and monitors its decay. • A thicker ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...

Infineon has introduced automotive microcontrollers with capacitive touch sensing for sensor and actuator applications. The PSOC 4 HVMS family is built around a 24 or 48MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, ...
