Texas Instruments FDC1004 4-Channel Capacitance-to-Digital Converter is a high-resolution, 4-channel capacitance-to-digital converter for implementing capacitive sensing solutions. Each channel has a full-scale range of ±15pF and can handle a sensor offset capacitance of up to 100pF, which can be either programmed internally or can be an external capacitor for tracking environmental changes over time and temperature. The large offset capacitance capability allows for the use of remote sensors. The FDC1004 also includes shield drivers for sensor shields, which can reduce EMI interference and help focus the sensing direction of a capacitive sensor. The small footprint of the FDC1004 allows for use in space-constrained applications. The Texas Instruments FDC1004 is available in a 10-pin WSON package and features an I2C interface for interfacing to an MCU.
