Texas Instruments LDC0851EVM Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments LDC0851EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) demonstrates the use of inductive sensing technology to accurately detect the presence of a conductive target object passing a fixed threshold. The module includes a perforated and interchangeable 4-layer PCB where both the sensing coil as well as the reference coil are stacked for reduced system size. The presence of a conductive object passing the fixed threshold is indicated by a green LED and therefore no MCU is needed. A resistive potentiometer can adjust the switching threshold easily for flexibility and quick system prototyping.
