Proximity detection

Proximity detection with CAPSENSE™

Overview

Capacitive proximity detection is widely adopted as it enables robust designs with low cost, high reliability, low power, sleek aesthetics, and seamless integration with existing user interfaces. Infineon’s CAPSENSE™ devices provide proximity-sensing capabilities based on self-capacitance capable of up to 20 cm sensing distance.

Benefits

  • 20 cm range
  • Low power consumption
  • Low CPU bandwidth used
  • Strong noise immunity
  • Robust and Reliable
  • Backlight control
  • System wakeup
  • Advanced proximity gesture control

Capacitive proximity sensing is widely adopted as it enables robust designs with low cost, high reliability, low power, sleek aesthetics, and seamless integration with existing user interfaces. Infineon’s CAPSENSE™ devices provide robust proximity-sensing capabilities based on self-capacitance capable of up to 30 cm proximity-sensing distance.

For proximity detection with CAPSENSE™, key products for this solution include the PSOC™ 4000S and PSOC™ 4000T.
