Inductance-to-digital converter

13 November 2013 News

Texas Instruments unveiled the industry’s first inductance-to-digital converter (LDC) in the form of the LDC1000, the forerunner in a new data converter category that uses coils and springs as inductive sensors. Inductive sensing is a contactless sensing technology that can be used to measure the position, motion or composition of a metal or conductive target, as well as detect the compression, extension or twist of a spring.

Applications range from simple pushbuttons, knobs and on/off switches to high-resolution heart rate monitors, turbine flow meters and high-speed motor/gear controllers. Given their versatility, LDCs can be used in many different markets, including automotive, white goods, consumer electronics, mobile devices, computing, industrial and medical.
