Challenges of Capacitive Sensing for Automotive
Abstract:
A popular trend for modern electronic industries is to use the CapSense technology’s interface with buttons and sliders, arrays in touchpads or touch screens, and, more recently, fingerprint readers. But, for the automotive applications, the capacitive touch-sensing is an extreme challenge due to the operation with tiny signals (fF) in highly unstable and noisy environments. The user relies only on robust solutions that “just work”. In this keynote speech, Dr. Karpin provides some insight into the challenges and their solutions for Infineon CapSense ® technology in Automotive.
