Description
The TIDA-00754 TI Design demonstrates a proximity sensor implementation for HMI applications. The design can be used for backlight control that dynamically adjusts LCD backlight brightness relative to the environment's ambient light levels. A capacitive proximity sensor saves power and increases the LCD backlight life by waking up the system from sleep or standby mode when a person approaches.
Features
- Demonstrates EMI-resistant proximity detection using copper PCB material
- Excellent human eye spectral response matching with a strong IR rejection (<1%)
- Dynamically adjusts backlight brightness on a logarithmic scale based on how the human eye perceives brightness
- Integrated UV filter enables good performance for outdoor applications
