Electromechanical switches are simple, cheap, and widely available (Fig. 1). However, they’re also plagued with a number of disadvantages, including wear with repeated use, and the potential for ...

Capacitive touch sensing has been traditionally used as a design differentiating technology to enable superior aesthetic designs for automotive infotainment applications. With devices maturing to the ...

In this application note, we will discuss on how to implement touch keys using IO ports. We will also show on how to directly interface this touch keys with the LCD using few IO port lines. There will ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

ON Semiconductor has introduced a highly integrated capacitance-to-digital converter IC that will speed the implementation and reduce the component count of electrostatic capacitance touch sensor ...

A second automaker has realized that going all-out on capacitive touch buttons is the wrong move. First, Honda backtracked, giving the 10th-generation Civic a physical volume knob to replace the touch ...

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 ...

After years of criticism and complaints by drivers, the tide seems to be definitively turning against the use of touch screens and capacitive-touch switches to control commonly used functions in ...

With the addition of capacitive touch functionality, RA0L1 devices offer designers the ability to create responsive, attractive, low-power user interfaces at very low cost. RA0L1 MCUs deliver industry ...

In a nutshell: It has long been known that electromagnetic fields (EMF) can do some wonky things to electronic devices. Recently, scientists have attempted to determine whether they can manipulate an ...
