World’s First Inductance-to-Digital Converter from Texas Instruments in Stock at Mouser

November 5, 2013 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the world’s first Inductance-to-Digital Converter from Texas Instruments which is a contact-less, short-range sensing technology that provides a revolution in sensing.

The Texas Instruments LDC1000 Inductance-to-Digital Converter available from Mouser Electronics provides a sensing technology that enables low-cost, high-resolution sensing of conductive targets in the presence of dust, dirt, oil, and moisture, making it extremely reliable in hostile environments. Using a coil which can be created on a PCB as a sensing element, the LDC1000 enables ultra-low cost system solutions. Inductive sensing technology enables precise measurement of linear/angular position, displacement, motion, compression, vibration, metal composition, ideal for applications in markets such as automotive, consumer, computer, industrial, medical, and communications.

The LDC1000 is the world’s first inductance-to-digital converter, offering the benefits of inductive sensing in a low-power, small-footprint solution. The product is available in a SON-16 package and offers several modes of operation. An SPI interface simplifies connection to an MCU. The LDC1000EVM is an evaluation module that can be used to evaluate the LDC1000 Inductance-to-Digital Converter.
