ANALOG DEVICES AD7151 Ultra-Low Power 1-Channel Capacitance Converter for Proximity Sensing handbook
The AD7151 is a complete signal processing solution for capacitive proximity sensors. It features an ultra-low power consumption of 70 pA and offers two modes of operation: standalone with fixed settings or interfaced to a microcontroller via a serial interface for user-defined configurations.
The device utilizes Analog Devices' capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) technology, providing high input sensitivity and tolerance for parasitic ground capacitance. It includes an integrated adaptive threshold algorithm that compensates for variations in sensor capacitance caused by environmental factors such as humidity and temperature.
