Infineon Technologies Touch-Sensing Technologies
Infineon Technologies Touch-Sensing Technologies feature CAPSENSE™ capacitive-sensing and MagSense™ inductive-sensing. Infineon provides sensing solutions that work and deliver robustness and intelligence for consumer, industrial, automotive, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
CAPSENSE
CAPSENSE capacitive-sensing can be used for applications that require touch buttons, sliders, wheels, trackpads, and touchscreens. Capacitive touch sensing technology measures changes in the capacitance between a plate (the sensor) and its environment to detect the presence of a finger on or near a touch surface. Infineon CAPSENSE enables proximity sensing, hover and glove touch, liquid tolerance, and liquid-level sensing. In addition, CAPSENSE provides an intelligent SmartSense® algorithm that compensates for environmental and manufacturing variations.
PSoC 6 Kits with CAPSENSE
Infineon Technologies PSOC™ 6 BLE Pioneer Kit
Includes a 2.7" e-ink display shield board with an onboard digital microphone and thermistor.
Infineon Technologies CY8CKIT-062-WiFi-BT PSOC™ 6 WiFi-BT Pioneer Kit
Enables evaluation and development of PSOC™ 6 MCU + WiFi applications.
MagSense
Inductive-sensing is a low-cost, robust solution that seamlessly integrates with existing user interfaces, and is also used to detect the presence of metallic or conductive objects. Applications that require detection through high-quality metal overlays, water-proofing, rotary and linear encoder functionality, and proximity sensing can be designed using inductive sensing with Cypress’ MagSense technology.
