[Mark Smith] must really, really like his coffee, at least judging by how much effort he’s put into tricking out his espresso machine. Directly adjacent to the float track on the outside of the tank ...

A common application seen throughout the industrial and commercial sectors is proximity sensing—detecting when some object is physically close to a sensor. A variety of processes can be implemented ...

The LDC0851 provides a temperature-stable switching accuracy of better than 1 percent of the sensor coil diameter, removing the need for production calibration and minimizing part-to-part variation.

The need for advanced and improved human machine interfaces (HMIs) is increasing due to increasing digitalization trends including Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), the Artificial ...

Last week Belgian fabless chip company Melexis announced a unique inductive sensing IC that includes a tiny transformer, drive circuit and sense circuit, so Electronics Weekly decided to have a closer ...

This sensor driver/receiver IC uses PCB-based differential sensing coils and sophisticated topology to provide high accuracy and noise immunity in harsh environments. There’s a large gap between the ...

Texas Instruments rolled out its first differential inductive switch, with a dual-coil architecture that automatically compensates for variations in temperature and component aging. The LDC0851 ...

Sensor specialist BAUMER has expanded its range of miniature sensors helping system designers and engineers to exploit the benefits of reliable object detection using the smallest possible components.

In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...

Why it matters: As the keyboard space continues to evolve, Cherry's latest innovations show how far switch technology has come. By combining advances in sensing, efficiency, and feel, Cherry is ...

Melexis has brought out a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit (IC). The device simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip.
