In November 2012, ON Semiconductor introduced a highly integrated capacitance to digital converter IC that speeds up the implementation and reduces the component count of electrostatic capacitance touch sensor applications.
Features and USP: The new high performance LC717A00AR simplifies the replacement of mechanical switches with capacitive touch sensors for applications including home appliances, audio/visual equipment, computer peripherals and automotive instrument panels. Featuring eight capacitor sensing inputs and eight digital outputs, the LC717A00AR uses a proprietary differential capacitance detection technology to enable high sensitivity and high noise resistance. A built-in logic circuit detects the on/off state of each input and outputs the appropriate result without the need for any additional components or control software.
