LDC2112: the LDC2112 chip work as a simple digital sensor

Jiahui Gao

Part Number: LDC2112

Hi expert,

Is there any recommended configuration to make the LDC2112 chip work as a simple digital sensor, in case it detects the presence or absence of a metal object?

Thanks!

Best regards

Jiahui,

The LDC2112 can indeed be used to sense the presence or absence of conductive materials, which includes many metals.
For more detailed information, please see the Inductive sensing FAQ for answers to frequent questions, app notes and other info on using inductive sensors like the LDC2112.
The LDC2112 data sheet has detailed info on device settings, and the LDC2112 EVM User's Guide provides useful information as well.
Please see the Inductive Sensing Blogs for general guidance and strategies for using inductive sensors.

Regards,
John
