Overview

The LDC1614RGHT is a high-resolution, 4-channel inductance-to-digital converter (LDC) designed for inductive sensing applications. It measures the resonance frequency of an external LC resonator to detect changes in inductance caused by the proximity of conductive targets, offering a sensing range beyond two coil diameters.

Why Choose This Part

This device supports up to 4 matched channels, enabling multi-sensor systems or differential measurements for environmental stability. It operates over a wide sensor frequency range from 1 kHz to 10 MHz and remains immune to DC magnetic fields, ensuring reliable operation near magnets or motors.

Applications

Industrial Dial and Knob Tracking
Precise rotation and position tracking for control knobs in appliances and industrial equipment.
Metal Proximity Sensing
Non-contact detection of metal objects in harsh environments where dust, dirt, or oil may interfere with optical sensors.
Environmental Compensation
Utilizing one of the four channels as a reference coil to compensate for drift caused by temperature or aging.
High-Resolution Push Buttons
Detecting micro-deflections in metal surfaces to create rugged, waterproof human-machine interfaces.

Getting Started

Connect the LDC1614 to a microcontroller via the I2C interface and configure the LC tank circuit for your target frequency range. Texas Instruments provides the LDC1614EVM evaluation module and the WEBENCH Inductive Sensing Design Tool to assist with coil design and register configuration.
