Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001029

An integrated circuit that measures capacitance and converts this measurement into a digital representation. A Capacitance-to-Digital Converter operates by applying a voltage to a capacitive sensor and measuring the resulting charge time or frequency, which is then digitized. These devices are integral to applications like proximity sensing, material detection, liquid level measurement, and implementing touch controls on human-machine interfaces.
