LDC1312 is a 2-channel, 12-bit Inductance-to-Digital Converter with I2C for Inductive Sensing

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The LDC1312 is a 2-channel, 12-bit inductance to digital converter (LDC) for inductive sensing solutions. 

With multiple channels and support for remote sensing, the LDC1312 enables the performance and reliability benefits of inductive sensing to be realized at minimal cost and power. The product is easy to use, only requiring that the sensor frequency be within 1 kHz and 10 MHz to begin sensing. The wide 1 kHz to 10 MHz sensor frequency range also enables use of very small PCB coils, further reducing sensing solution cost and size.

The LDC1312 offers well-matched channels, which allow for differential and ratiometric measurements. This enables designers to use one channel to compensate their sensing for environmental and aging conditions such as temperature, humidity, and mechanical drift. Given the ease of use, low power, and low system cost, the product enables designers to greatly improve on existing sensing solutions and to introduce brand new sensing capabilities to products in all markets, especially consumer and industrial applications. Inductive sensing offers better performance, reliability, and flexibility than competitive sensing technologies at lower system cost and power. The LDC1312 is easily configured via an I2C interface.
