16-button Inductive Keypad Reference Design Using the LDC1314 Inductance-to-Digital Converter
TIDA-00509
Overview
The LDC1314's unique inductive sensing capability is used to implement a contactless, 16 button, multi-function keypad. It uses standard PCB technology and easily manufactured components to implement a low cost solution.
This reference design uses the LDC1314. This reference design can also be used with LDC1312, LDC1612 and LDC1614.
