3 Description
Inductive sensing is a contactless, short-range
sensing technology that enables low-cost, high-
resolution sensing of conductive targets in the
presence of dust, dirt, oil, and moisture, making this
technology extremely reliable in harsh environments.
Using a coil that can be created for example on a
PCB as a sensing element, the LDC1000-Q1 device
enables ultra-low cost system solutions.
Inductive sensing technology enables precise
measurement of linear or angular position,
displacement, motion, compression, vibration, metal
composition, and many other applications in markets
including automotive, consumer, computer, industrial,
medical, and communications. Inductive sensing
offers better performance and reliability at lower cost
than other competitive solutions.
The LDC1000-Q1 device is the first automotive-
qualified LDC, offering the benefits of inductive
sensing in a low-power, small-footprint solution. The
product is available in a 16-pin TSSOP package and
offers several modes of operation. An SPI interface
simplifies connection to an MCU.
