You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

When you look at switching solutions for electronic wearables, your options are limited. With a clever application of conductive fabric and thread, you can cobble together a simple switch, but the ...

Capacitive-touch sensors can detect a finger touch by measuring capacitive changes on the touch pad. Currently, the most popular form of capacitive-touch sensors relies on a microprocessor and ...

Capacitive-based touch-sensor switches are gaining popularity for appliance, automotive, and industrial applications for many reasons. They’re aesthetically appealing, flexible, easy to manufacture, ...

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, ...

With the introduction of the first smartphones in 2012 with in-cell touch displays, a battle is emerging between the traditional supply chain of ITO-based touch sensors that are externally combined ...

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 ...

The new CA18CB..IO and CA30CB..IO capacitive sensors with IO-Link communication offer exceptional sensing performance and simplified adjustments through their integrated LED bar, which displays on/off ...

Many IoT devices have started to include touch screen interfaces as part of their UI to make the devices more intuitive and easier to use. A great interface can make customers really love and want to ...
