The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

This application note describes briefly important factors for the usage of the PCF8883 and PCA8886 sensor devices. Sensor devices, or capacitive proximity switches in particular, is always a ...

A new line of capacitive proximity switches monitors liquids, pastes, and bulk materials — even through nonmetallic dividing walls. The devices can also be used as limit switches, contact-free ...

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 ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Semtech Corporation. (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced the SX9300, an ultra-low power capacitive ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

One of the backbones to the success of any automated process is the accuracy to which one can detect and measure the various elements involved. Whether the process requires precise measurement and ...
