New Sensor Interface for Automotive Unbiased Capacitive Sensors

 

austriamicrosystems, a global designer and manufacturer of analog ICs for communications, industrial, medical and automotive applications, expanded its interface product portfolio with the AS1716, a sensor designed for interfacing to Piezo Electronic capacitive sensors. The AS1716 operates from a single supply 4.5V to 5.5V. The device provides differential inputs, a first order low pass filter to cut off the high frequency noise components, differential to single ended conversion, programmable gain stage and a two pole low pass multiple feedback filter. The AS1716 is an analog front end specifically designed for unbiased capacitive sensors, interfacing with sample and hold input stages and analog digital converters.
