Selecting the right proximity sensing solution for an application involves comparing not only a sensor’s technical attributes but also its power consumption and physical size.
This article explains the different proximity sensing technologies. We compare the technical attributes of ultrasonic, capacitive, magnetic, inductive, optical, PIR, lidar, and mmWave radar sensors. We also investigate the overall design requirements of a product and how a sensor impacts the product’s power consumption, and potentially, physical size.
This article will guide you in selecting the best proximity sensor for your design. Get it now!
