Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LDC1612, LDC1614, LDC1312, LDC1314, LDC1101

Hi,

My customer is evaluating the LDC1000 and investigating about related patent.

Could you tell me following information?

Is the calculating of frequency multiple or single by the frequency counter of LDC1000?

If this post is inadequate, please send a mail to following address.

Best Regards,

    Hello Kuramochi-san,

    the LDC1000 provides a frequency counter data by comparing the sensor oscillation frequency to the external reference clock frequency.

    The LDC1000 is only recommended for metal type identification applications. For all other applications, I recommend using one of our newer devices; They offer many advantages over the LDC1000:

    • The high-resolution multi-channel LDCs (LDC1612, LDC1614) are L-only devices which offer greatly improved measurement accuracy, better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, easier design integration, and multiple channels.
    • The mid-resolution multi-channel LDCs (LDC1312, LDC1314) are L-only devices which offer better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, easier design integration, and multiple channels.
    • The high-resolution, high-speed LDC1101 supports both L- and RP-measurements,  greatly improved measurement accuracy, better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, and easier design integration.
