Results for tag: "Self Capacitance"

Self-capacitance is a type of capacitive sensing technology used in a variety of applications. It is based on the principle of capacitance, which is the ability of a material to store electrical charge. Self-capacitance sensors measure the capacitance of a material, such as a finger, to detect changes in the electrical charge. This technology is used in a variety of applications, including touchscreens, fingerprint scanners, and proximity sensors. Self-capacitance technology is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and industrial. It is used to detect changes in the environment, such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. It is also used to detect the presence of objects, such as people or animals. The self-capacitance market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering products and services. Some of the major players in the market include Synaptics, Atmel, Cypress Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, and NXP Semiconductors. Other companies in the market include Alps Electric, Alps Alpine, and Alps Automotive. Show Less Read more
