5 Description Continued

The high resolution channels allow for a much larger sensing range, maintaining good performance beyond two coil diameters. Well-matched channels allow for differential and ratiometric measurements, which enable designers to use one channel to compensate their sensing for environmental and aging conditions such as temperature, humidity, and mechanical drift.

Given their ease of use, low power, and low system cost these products enable designers to greatly improve performance, reliability, and flexibility over existing sensing solutions and to introduce brand new sensing capabilities to products in all markets, especially consumer and industrial applications.

These devices are easily configured via an I2C interface. The two-channel LDC1612-Q1 is available in a WSON-12 package and the four-channel LDC1614-Q1 is available in a WQFN-16 package.
