IC/Module: LDC1000 Inductance-to-Digital Converter
Known to be the worlds first inductance-to-digital converter IC, the LDC1000 Click Board™ is a high resolution inductive sensing technology based IC that offers the benefits of inductive sensing in a low-power, small-footprint solution.
Inductive Sensing
LDC1000 Click Board™ is based on a contactless, magnet-free inductive sensing technology with huge potential in embedded design. Designed for tough conditions, it provides better performance and high reliability at lower cost. It enables the user for enables accurate measurement of linear and angular position, displacement, motion, compression, vibration, metal composition, and several other applications.
Detachable PCB Sensor
The LDC1000 Click Board™ features a detachable PCB sensor, which is an LC tank that includes a 36-turn PCB coil and a 100pF 1% NPO capacitor. The user can try out using different sensors, to attain a low-cost solution, by breaking off the original, and soldering the new sensor to the on-board INA and INB pins.
