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 ...

Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...

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 ...

Sponsored by IDT: Thanks to the advances made in inductive position sensing, the technology is carving new paths in automotive design and leaving its optical and capacitive cousins in the dust.

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 ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...
