An oscilloscope and a device under test (DUT) constitute a de-facto system. In it, the most overlooked element is the interface between the two: the oscilloscope’s probes. Test personnel simply grab ...

Capacitive displacement sensor’s touch-free nature makes it ideal for fragile surfaces and high-speed machinery.

Capacitive sensor technology has evolved markedly over recent years, underpinned by advancements in integrated circuit design and novel measurement approaches. These sensors function by detecting ...

Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM) and Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy (SSRM) are both established scanning probe-based techniques for two-dimensional carrier profiling. It was mainly the ...

With a sampling rate of 50 kHz, the PCap04 capacitive sensing front-end IC from ams achieves a measurement resolution of 8 aF. Designers can configure the device for high resolution, high speed, or ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

AMS has announced a configurable capacitive sensing front end which allows speed and resolution to be traded to optimise designs. Called PCap04, it can capture and digitise 50,000 times per second at ...
