Capacitive sensors are typically cost-effective and deliver low-power performance features aligned with today’s trends for consumer and industrial applications. Capacitive sensors are cost effective ...

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 ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

Capacitive displacement sensor’s touch-free nature makes it ideal for fragile surfaces and high-speed machinery.

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 ...

How to build a circuit that converts capacitance into a pulse train. Test results of the circuit design. The circuit in Figure 1 allows you to convert capacitance into a pulse train by using a ...

• 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.

Accurate measurement using sensor elements requires precise and local measurement of the element’s temperature for correction and compensation across a wide operating range. Thus, an integral part of ...

The circuit in Figure 1 allows you to convert capacitance into a pulse train by using a constant current source and a linear monostable formed by two NAND-gate chips (74HC132). The circuit also ...
