In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

Using metamaterials, light-driven additive manufacturing, and other techniques, researchers have created innovative pressure ...

T his article is a follow-up to the one on SELF capacitance [1], and together, they cover the theories and design guides for the two most popular capacitive sensors, the projected and self capacitive ...

There are generally two types of accelerometers currently available—capacitor-based and thermal versions—and both are microelectromechanical devices (MEMS). So what’s the difference between the two?

The global capacitive sensors market is witnessing significant expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of multi-touch capacitive sensing technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and ...

The AS8580 launched by ams OSRAM adopts a robust capacitive sensing solution based on IQ demodulation technology, which can separate the measured capacitance into parasitic resistance/capacitance ...

Capacitive sensing libraries for the Arduino and just about every other microcontroller platform have been around for ages now, but if you’d like to put a slightly complex cap sense pad in a PCB ...

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 ...

Opportunities in tactile sensors span varied sectors, including robotics, electronics, and smart homes. As tactile sensors enable human-like perception, the integration of multiple sensing ...
