The LDC1614 from Texas Instruments is a 4-channel, 28-bit inductance to digital converter (LDC) for inductive sensing solutions.
With multiple channels and support for remote sensing, the LDC1614 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 high resolution channels allow for a much larger sensing range, maintaining good performance beyond two coil diameters. Well-matched channels allow for differential and ratiometric measurements, which enable designers to use one channel to compensate their sensing for environmental and aging conditions such as temperature, humidity, and mechanical drift. Given its ease of use, low power, and low system cost, the product enables designers to greatly improve performance, reliability, and flexibility over existing sensing solutions and to introduce brand new sensing capabilities to products in all markets, especially consumer and industrial applications. The device is easily configured via an I2C interface, and the LDC1614 is available in a WQFN-16 package.
