Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...
Capacitive-proximity sensors have been used widely in industrial applications such as counting products on a conveyor, detecting position of valves, presence of objects etc. In recent years, the use ...
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 ...
