Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are devices employed to detect the presence of an object or target, usually within a small range, using a non-contact detection method. Commonly used proximity sensors include inductive, capacitive, ultrasound, and photoelectric sensors. Each type of sensor functions in a slightly different manner and so are best suited to different applications based on their distinctive attributes.

IMA25656C

The IMA25656 from Infineon is a new type of capacitive-based digital proximity sensor. This device consists of a built-in oscillator, two capacitive measurement channels and a digital 16-bit analog-to-digital converter ADC. The built-in oscillator works as the reference for the two capacitive channels. In this way, the IMA25656 can make capacitive measurements of the environment over a range of several centimeters. In addition, it has a built-in temperature sensor which provides both the ambient temperature measurement as well as temperature compensation.

Application Field and Working Principle

The IMA25656 can be used to detect the presence of objects inside a small range and may be applicable to hazardous or difficult operating conditions due to its digital signal handling capability. It can be used for a variety of applications including automotive, security, white goods, and medical equipment.

The working principle of the IMA25656 is based on the capacitive detection technique. This device consists of an in-built oscillator that generates a high frequency signal with cycles ranging from 20 to 40kHz. The two capacitive channels then measure the electric field generated by the objects in its range and convert the signal into digital values. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) within the device then converts these values into a 16-bit digital format.

The digital signals output from the device can then be used to detect the presence of an object. For example, a change in the capacitive values can be used to indicate the presence of an object, such as a human hand, within a certain range.

The IMA25656 from Infineon is a digital capacitive-based proximity sensor that can provide reliable detection of objects within a specified range. Its digital signal handling capacity makes it particularly useful in hazardous or difficult operating conditions. It can be used for a range of applications, making it a versatile and highly capable sensing device.
