Capacitive Body Proximity Sensor System

View page
US Patent:
20140015595, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Jul 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/549017
Inventors:
Terrence Lee Van Ausdall - Boulder Creek CA, US
Mathieu Hoffmann - San Diego CA, US
Pascal Monney - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
SEMTECH CORPORATION - Camarillo CA
International Classification:
G01R 27/26
H03K 17/945
US Classification:
327517, 324679
Abstract:
Described herein are systems, methods and apparatuses that can detect the proximity of an object and differentiate between a human body and a non-human object. The detection and differentiation are facilitated by a first capacitive sensor of a first shape and a second capacitive sensor of a second shape. The detection and determination can be made based on a comparison between a first capacitance from the first sensor and a second capacitance from the second sensor.

Multiple Capacitive (Button) Sensor With Reduced Pinout

US Patent:
20120181943, Jul 19, 2012
Filed:
Jan 18, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/353171
Inventors:
Pascal MONNEY - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
H05B 37/02
US Classification:
315210, 315224
Abstract:
A capacitive touch sensor and LED driver device achieves a reduction in pin count by multiplexing LED drive functionality and capacitive sense functionality on each input/output pin. A control circuit switches between LED drive mode and capacitive sense mode at a frequency of approximately 200 Hz, although other switching frequencies can be used. A bias driver functions as a current sink for LEDs in LED drive mode and can also be used to drive a bias voltage to the LEDs during capacitive sense mode to improve noise immunity.

Multichannel Capacitive Sensor Device

US Patent:
20220334672, Oct 20, 2022
Filed:
Mar 7, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/688300
Inventors:
- Camarillo CA, US
Pascal Monney - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/041
G06F 3/044
Abstract:
A capacitive sensor with a plurality of sense inputs connectable to capacitive sense electrodes and a common reference input, each sense input and the reference input can be put in a measure state, in a ground state, or in a shield state. The sensor can be equipped with external reference capacitors between each of the sense input and the common reference terminal. The reference capacitor can be read individually by selectively pulling one of the input terminals to ground and driving the other to be equipotential with the reference input.

Multi-Shield Capacitive Sensing Circuit

US Patent:
20160162068, Jun 9, 2016
Filed:
Dec 4, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/561049
Inventors:
- Camarillo CA, US
Pascal Monney - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Semtech Corporation - Camarillo CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/044
Abstract:
A proximity sensor includes a capacitive touch controller. A first shielding area is coupled to a first shield terminal of the capacitive touch controller. A second shield area is coupled to a second shield terminal of the capacitive touch controller. A first sensing element is disposed adjacent to the first shielding area. The first sensing element is coupled to a first sensing terminal of the capacitive touch controller. A second sensing element is disposed adjacent to the second shielding area. The second sensing element is coupled to a second sensing terminal of the capacitive touch controller. The capacitive touch controller is configured to associate the first sensing element with the first shielding area. A self-capacitance of the first sensing element is measured while the second shielding area is inactive. The self-capacitance of the first sensing element is measured at a first frequency.
