Overview

The LDC1612DNTR is a 2-channel, 28-bit inductance-to-digital converter (LDC) designed for high-resolution proximity sensing and position measurement. It measures the oscillation frequency of an LC resonator to detect changes in inductance caused by the presence of conductive targets, providing high immunity to DC magnetic fields.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a high 28-bit resolution and supports a wide sensor frequency range from 1 kHz to 10 MHz. Its multi-channel architecture allows for differential measurements to compensate for environmental factors like temperature drift and aging.

Applications

High-Resolution Proximity Sensing
Detecting the presence or distance of metal objects with sub-micron resolution in industrial environments.
Rotary and Linear Encoders
Implementing non-contact position tracking for knobs, sliders, and gear-tooth counting.
Material Property Analysis
Characterizing metal composition or detecting defects by monitoring changes in eddy currents and coil inductance.
Liquid Level Sensing
Measuring fluid levels in tanks using inductive sensors placed outside of non-conductive containers.
