TIDA-00220

Capacitive-Based Human Proximity Detection for System Wake-Up & Interrupt Reference Design

TIDA-00220

Design files

Overview

This reference design uses our capacitive-to-digital converter technology to provide a high-precision method to wake up systems when human interaction occurs. TIDA-00220 demonstrates techniques for an alternative sensor design, environmental compensation and electromagnetic interference protection.

Features
  • Detects human proximity using a conductive nickel-print sensor that enables a flexible industrial design
  • The sensor can be copper PCB material or other conductive material
  • Reduces environmental effects through several techniques
  • Sensing range is dependent on sensor geometry (20 cm with tested hardware)
  • Low-power consumption of 6.2 mW
  • This fully tested and characterized design includes hardware design files (schematics and layout), firmware and detailed user guide with test results
