Overview

The LDC1314's unique inductive sensing capability is used to implement a contactless, 16 button, multi-function keypad. It uses standard PCB technology and easily manufactured components to implement a low cost solution.

This reference design uses the LDC1314. This reference design can also be used with LDC1312, LDC1612 and LDC1614.

Features

Contactless buttons, with superior reliability over electrical/mechanical contact solutions
Can be easily used to implement ruggedized, environmentally sealed keypad and keyboard solutions for harsh environments
Supports simultaneous button presses
Temperature stable
Easily scalable to larger key arrays

LDC1314KEYPAD-EVM — LDC1314 Inductance-to-Digital Converter Evaluation Module

The LDC1314KEYPAD evaluation module implements a 16 snap dome button keypad using only one LDC1314 to multiplex all 16 buttons.

This design uses the LDC1314 but can also be replicated with the LDC1312, LDC1612 and LDC1614.
