FDC2214: Is FDC 2214 a sensor itself that can be attached to the cooling body?

QiuPing Wang

Part Number: FDC2214

Dear Sir/Madam,

Is FDC2214 is a capacitive sensor itself that can be attached to the cooling body? Do I need to purchase an FDC2214EVM to connect to FDC2214 for sensing the capacitive change?

I have no knowledge of designing the board or customise the sensor myself, I wish to buy in a set that can is ready to use.

Best Regards,

QiuPing

Hello QiuPing,

The FDC2214EVM does come with the sensor. If you order the EVM you should be getting the sensor to help in your initial evaluation.

Please order the EVM and let us know what help is needed.

For more information on how to use the EVM please refer to the technical document under the FDC2214 product folder. http://www.ti.com/tool/FDC2214EVM#descriptionArea
