Capacitive touch sensors have made homes i n scores of MP3 players and mobile phones. Of course, the mobile arena is no longer the only bastion for these devices. Today, sensor technology has ...

The 16-key QT60160 and 24-key QT60240 touch-sensor chips detect human touch through panels measuring up to 50 mm in thickness when teamed with a scanned X-Y passive matrix. Their ability to operate on ...

Capacitive touch sensors are based on the electrical capacitance of the human body. When, for example, a finger comes close to the sensor, it creates a capacitance to Earth with a value of 30 to 100 ...

When Apple introduced Touch ID on the new iPhone 5s, the company provided some basic information about the kinds of security used to protect users’ fingerprints and data. A new discovery by iMore ...

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 ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...
