The sensors provide a reliable alternative to mechanical switches that may have a high rate of wear and tear. The sensors use capacitive technology for start and stop actuation, and are available with ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

The multi-touch ClearPad 3000 series of capacitive touch sensors brings high-resolution capacitive touchscreens with basic gesture capability to mobile handsets and other handheld devices. With the ...

Ever wondered how a touch-sensitive screen works? The answer is capacitive sensing, which can detect the presence of your finger through the protective glass sheet and doesn't require any pressure.

Capacitive sensing is emerging as a popular interfacing alternative to switches and knobs in consumer electronics, front panel display applications, and many industrial and automotive sensors. This ...
