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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Interfacing to MEMS transducers, such as those that sense acceleration, pressure, altitude, humidity, rain, level and gas, e2v's CPIC2.0 ic has been designed to ease the process of sensor data ...

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, ...

One of the metrics needed to monitor the success of blood-vessel surgery is blood flow and pressure through the repaired vessel, but measuring that parameter brings many obvious challenges. A team of ...
