You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...
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 ...
Mobile devices such as tablets and cellphones generally require proximity sensors for Specific Absorption Ratio (SAR) qualification and on-ear detection. Capacitive sensing may be used to meet both of ...
