Capacitive sensing offers developers a new way to interact with users that overcome the traditional problems associated with mechanical levels or push button switches that engage a solenoid controlled ...

As with traditional mechanical switches, a user's interface experience with a capacitive sensor is directly related to the way the sensor responds (sensitivity) upon contact under all operating ...

The methodologies vary, ranging from compressive resistive buttons to capacitive sensing. The use of capacitive sensing is appearing in low-end applications, ranging from simple keypads to much higher ...

The pen is mightier than the sword, but the IBM Model M keyboard, properly applied, can knock teeth in. There are a few more IBM keyboards even better suited to blunt force trauma – the extremely ...

Linear Technology’s LTC6702 is a fast, micropower dual comparator that operates down to 1.7 V and consumes less than 60 μA. Linear Technology’s LTC6702 is a fast, micropower dual comparator that ...

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 ...

Legacy designs of variable frequency drives (VFDs) used optocouplers or pulse transformers for isolation and mated them together with gate driver ICs. A more integrated approach, though, uses ...
