Capacitive touch sensors are fast becoming an integral part of many electronic goods these days. Made popular by products like the Apple iPod adopting it, capacitive sensors have now become the ...

Capacitive touch sensors are based on the electrical capacitance of the human body. When, for example, a finger comes close to the sensor, it creates a capacitance to Earth with a value of 30 to 100 ...

With so many cell phones, PDAs, and MP3 players using touch-sensitive keypads, wheels, and screens for user input, regular mechanical pushbuttons are beginning to seem outdated. Even so, mechanical ...

The capacitive touch human-machine interface (HMI) is a critical aspect of modern electronics. It is how we interact with our devices, making it an integral part of wearables, smart home products and ...

The Capacitive Touch Sensor (CTS) is a gesture sensitive functional textile touch-pad interface for physical devices. The CTS is produced as a single piece of fabric requiring only two electrodes to ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

Many people mistake the growth in capacitive touch sensors as the adoption of new technology. But the fact is advances in mixed-signal programmable devices, those that combine analog and digital into ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

The multi-touch ClearPad 3000 series of capacitive touch sensors brings high-resolution capacitive touchscreens with basic gesture capability to mobile handsets and other handheld devices. With the ...

Expanding the B6TS capacitive touch-sensing IC family are eight- and 16-channel LF versions that promise significant reductions in development time. The devices measure floating capacitance through ...

Three recent events have changed the complexion of embedded systems design in fundamental ways, opening up significant opportunities – and challenges – to the prepared developer and engineer as it ...
