Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FDC1004
Tool/software:
Dear TI Support Team,
I am currently working on a device that requires non-contact human body detection, and I came across the FDC1004QDGSRQ1 capacitive sensing IC. I would like to confirm whether this sensor is capable of detecting the presence of a human body through capacitive sensing, specifically when the sensor is embedded inside a protective safety suit.
My primary goal is to determine whether the suit is being worn by a person (i.e., detect human presence inside the suit) using this sensor. Could you please confirm:
-
Can the FDC1004QDGSRQ1 reliably detect the human body through clothing or suit material?
-
If not suitable, could you kindly recommend a TI sensor or solution that would be better suited for non-contact human presence detection, particularly for this application?
Your prompt response would be highly appreciated, as it will help guide the next steps in our design process.
Please let me know if any further details are required
