Product data sheet
1. General description
The integrated circuit PCF8883 is a capacitive proximity switch that uses a patented
(EDISEN) digital method to detect a change in capacitance on a remote sensing plate.
Changes in the static capacitance (as opposed to dynamic capacitance changes) are
automatically compensated using continuous auto-calibration. Remote sensing plates
(e.g. conductive foil) can be connected directly to the IC1 or remotely using a coaxial
cable.
