Texas Instruments High-Performance Analog Data Acquisition - Data Acquisition - ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose - LDC1051NHRT LDC1051NHRT

The LDC1051NHRT is an 8-bit inductance-to-digital converter designed for inductive sensing applications. It operates with a supply voltage of 5 V and supports an I/O voltage range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. The device features a resolution of 8 bits and can measure inductance over a frequency range of 5 kHz to 5 MHz. Its low stand-by current of 250 µA enhances energy efficiency in applications. This converter is suitable for various sensing applications, including proximity sensing, level sensing, and lateral position sensing. The LDC1051 allows for remote sensor placement, making it resilient to harsh environmental conditions, as it is insensitive to non-conductive interferers like dirt and oil. The device is pin-compatible with other members of the LDC family, such as the LDC1000 and LDC1041, providing flexibility in system design. The LDC1051 is packaged in a compact 5 mm x 4 mm WSON-16 format, facilitating integration into space-constrained designs. It utilizes SPI for device programming, allowing for straightforward configuration with a microcontroller.
