Capacitive touch switches work by measuring the change in capacitance of a PCB (printed-circuit-board) pattern depending on the placement of a user’s finger over a sensing pad. Capacitive switches are ...

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 ...

3M Touch Systems announces the commercial availability of a new polyester-based projected capacitive touch screen solution. MicroTouch Flex Capacitive Touch Sensors from 3M are ideal for high-volume ...

This PLL-based circuit implements a touch-switch circuit using the PC board or small metal pads as sensors; it is radiometric and thus insensitive to changes in temperature and supply voltage.

Many people mistake the growth in capacitive touch sensors as the adoption of new technology. But the fact is advances in mixed-signal programmable devices, those that combine analog and digital into ...

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 ...

There are few things more frustrating than being in the middle of working on a project and realizing that you are missing some crucial component that ties the whole thing together. According to Murphy ...
