PCA8885
Description
The integrated circuit PCA8885 is a capacitive 8-channel touch and proximity sensor that uses a patented (EDISEN) method to detect a change in capacitance on remote sensing plates. Changes in the static capacitances (as opposed to dynamic capacitance changes) are automatically compensated using continuous auto-calibration.
Key Features
- AEC-Q100 compliant for automotive applications
- Dynamic touch and proximity sensor with 8 sensor channels
