ADI has developed a new converter breed for high precision measurement in response to a rising number of capacitance and impedance-based sensor applications. “Traditionally it's been extremely ...

Using ADI's advanced capacitance sensor core, the AD7142 CDC has the capability to automatically adjust to rapidly changing climatic conditions, making it especially suitable for mobile applications.

ADI also offers a library of sensor sizes, so manufacturers can customize the shape of capacitance sensors to differentiate their products. In a capacitive touchpad design, sensors consist of ...

The first three devices in ADI's CDC family—the AD7745, AD7746, and AD7747—exploit ADI's experience in high-precision sigma-delta technology and system integration by combining 24bit ...

Conductive targets affect capacitive sensors as well, but in a different way. When a conductive target enters the sensor field it forms a counter electrode to the active face of the sensor.

It’s a force sensor, a pressure sensor, and a switch, all made completely out of fabric. The design of this fabric touch sensor is based around a non-woven resistive fabric made by Eeonyx.

Comparison of Capacitive with Induction Sensors Capacitive sensing involves charging up plates, so it is somewhat slower than inductive: 10 to 50 Hz, with a sensing distance from 3 to 60 mm.
