A GUIDE TO INDUCTIVE SENSING HOW TO BUILD AN INDUCTIVE SENSOR WITH AN INDUCTANCE-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (LDC) Inductance-to-Digital Converter WHY USE AN LDC? HIGHER RESOLUTION INCREASED RELIABILITY GREATER FLEXIBILITY Enables sub-micron resolution in Offers contactless sensing that is Allows the sensor to be located position-sensing applications with 16-bit resonance impedance and remotely from the electronics, where PCBS cannot be placed. immune to nonconductive contaminants, such as oil, dirt and dust, which can shorten equipment life. 24-bit inductance values. LOWER SYSTEM COST LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES Uses low-cost sensors and targets Supports pressed foil or conductive ink targets, offering endless opportunities for creative and innovative system designs. and does not require magnets. | HOW CAN YOU USE AN LDC? LDCS can be used to measure the position, motion, or composition of a metal or conductive target, as well as to detect the compression, extension, or twist of a spring. Uses within automotive, white goods, consumer electronics, industrial and medical are wide-ranging and seemingly endless.
