Texas Instruments LDC1314KEYPAD-EVM Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments LDC1314KEYPAD-EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) demonstrates the use of inductive sensing technology to sense and measure the presence or position of conductive target objects. The evaluation module contains two example LC tank sensors connected to the LDC131x/161x input channels. The latter is controlled by an MSP430, which interfaces to a host computer. This design uses the Texas Instruments LDC1314 and can also be used with LDC1312, LDC1612, and LDC1614.
