Noise-Immune Capacitive Sensing
Electrical noise source such as radios, power supplies, lights and motors can pose serious problems for capacitive sensors. To combat these problems, Texas Instruments (TI) FDC2214 capacitive sensing integrated circuit (IC) family offers 60x better performance in the presence of noise compared to existing capacitive-sensing solutions. The IC’s have a unique narrow-band architecture that eliminates […]
NFC Sensor Transponder Addresses Internet of Things Applications and More
The close proximity required for the Near Field Communication (NFC) technique makes it an interesting alternative and supplement to Bluetooth wireless technology. With its RF430FRL15xH system-on-chip (SoC) family, Texas Instruments (TI) makes it easy to implement an NFC sensor transponder. The 13.56 MHz fully programmable ISO 15693-compliant transponder includes programmable microcontroller (MCU), non-volatile FRAM, an […]
