Inductive Touch Stainless Steel Keypad Reference Design for Waterproof/Noise Immune HMI Applications

TIDA-01102

Design files

Overview

This 16-button stainless steel keypad, which utilizes TI's inductive touch technology, demonstrates highly sensitive buttons on a single piece of 0.6mm thick stainless steel metal.  The design utilizes a MUXed approach to implement many buttons with a single LDC1614. The design is applicable to any metal or non-metal surface completely enclosing the system, enabling a sleek waterproof (IP67) design.

Features
  • Completely enclosed design with 0.6mm thick stainless steel panel as the button interface
  • High sensitivity to measure metal movement in the sub-micrometer resolution
  • Measures force applied to implement multiple functions on a single button
  • Robust contactless design immune to water, dirt, dust, and other environmental contaminants
  • Low-cost design using PCB coils as the sensor
