EMC Chapter meeting

“Capacitive Touch Design for Commodity Applications: Replace That Old Mechanical Switch!”  Topics to be covered include:

1.  Design related topics such as: how such a device operates, and the components that make up a capacitive touch system. 

2.  User feedback, highlighting how simple things like driving multiple LEDs off of an unregulated supply, or leaving LED traces floating could negative effect system performance. 

3.  System level testing to pass IEC 61000 series testing. Problems related to obtaining the coveted CE mark are centered on conducted susceptibility, or how the sensor interface reacts when introducing noise to the system.

4.  A Design checklist.
