Automotive Capacitive Touch Control with Mutual Sensing
Designing cars that stay in touch with evolving consumer desires
Today’s cars are packed full of electronic systems, many of which require some degree of reliable human control (sometimes referred to as Human Machine Interface, HMI). Due to road vibration and corrosion, automotive controls using capacitive touch are more reliable and safer than mechanical switches. Yet the automotive environment is also subject to many sources of EMI, which can interfere with capacitive touch circuitry.
Join engineers from Avnet and ON Semiconductor in a free-wheeling discussion on how to make capacitive touch road-ready. They will discuss applications inside the cabin for infotainment, interior lighting, and rear-view mirror control, as well as those outside the cabin for door handles (keyless entry) and tail gate/sliding door control with kick sensor proximity sensing. You’ll also learn how the ON Semiconductor LC717A30 Capacitive Touch Controller with Mutual Sensing gives you more control in EMI-aggressive environments such as automobiles.
