Asahi Kasei Microdevices launched their 6-channel Capacitive Touch Sensor, AK4161. The device is a low operating voltage and low power consumption 6-channel capacitive touch sensor. Maximum 6 input ...

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 ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

The QST108 is the first in a series of capacitive touch sensors from STMicroelectronics using a pure digital, firmware-based solution that implements the Quantum Research Group's patented ...

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 ...

The new CA18CB..IO and CA30CB..IO capacitive sensors with IO-Link communication offer exceptional sensing performance and simplified adjustments through their integrated LED bar, which displays on/off ...

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 ...

While Apple's most recent innovations have come from portables like the iPad Air and iPhone 5s, a document uncovered on Thursday reveals a feature-laden keyboard with multi-function "keystacks" that ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...
