3 Description
The LDC1612-Q1 and LDC1614-Q1 are 2- and 4-
channel, 28-bit inductance to digital converters
(LDCs) for inductive sensing solutions. With multiple
channels and support for remote sensing, the
LDC1612-Q1 and LDC1614-Q1 enable the
performance and reliability benefits of inductive
sensing to be realized at minimal cost and power.
The products are easy to use, only requiring that the
sensor frequency be within 1 kHz and 10 MHz to
begin sensing. The wide 1 kHz to 10 MHz sensor
frequency range also enables use of very small PCB
coils, further reducing sensing solution cost and size.
