The CAP1133 is a 3-channel capacitive touch sensor with 3 LED drivers. This device offers a wide variety of button and proximity functionality, making it simple for designers to add aesthetically ...

When you look at switching solutions for electronic wearables, your options are limited. With a clever application of conductive fabric and thread, you can cobble together a simple switch, but the ...

It isn't easy being an electrical or electronics engineer in the automotive industry. Mechanical engineers that focus on cams, compression, and horsepower are more the norm, and often times electrical ...

In the last Sensor Sense we looked at capacitive touch switches used for on/off control. But these switches are also found in capacitive touch sliders that can control various levels, such as volume ...

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 ...

You can buy small modules with capacitive touch detection ICs — most often it’s the TTP223, a single-button capacitive model with configurable output modes. These are designed to pair with a ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...

• Trapped acoustic resonance is most simply described with an analogy: the ringing of a bell. • Microprocessors control the frequency of the mechanical resonance and monitors its decay. • A thicker ...
