Smart capacitive sensing design tips
Adding capacitive sensing to a product can be a daunting challenge that requires you to maintain sensor robustness and responsiveness while minimising current consumption and addressing other system-level priorities of the product. Download this whitepaper to learn how to incorporate capacitive sensing into your design while balancing other priorities within the system.
While fixed function capacitive sensing solutions in the market can ease some of these burdens, those devices are rarely pure ‘drop-in’ solutions, as many still rely on developer-side configuration and calibration. Additionally, fixed function solutions prevent developers from giving the sensor additional responsibilities in a system, which can lower system current consumption, reduce board size, and decrease BOM cost.
The capacitive sensing solutions developed by Silicon Labs as part of the launch of the EFM8 8-bit MCU line help designers through each step of the development process, enabling customers to generate projects with a built-in capacitive sensing firmware library, add and debug features with an intuitive and powerful Simplicity Studio IDE and view real-time capacitive sensing performance in-system using the Capacitive Sensing Profiler visualisation tool.
