Freescale Semiconductor is a leading company in the field of electronic sensors, offering a wide and complete family of acceleration, pressure, and proximity sensors.

Let’s take a moment and talk about how one would build an inductive touch sensor. Inductive touch sensors use a layer construction. A front panel or user touch service layer is applied over a conductive target, spacer and finally the printed circuit board.

So what exactly is inductive mTouch sensing? This technology provides an alternative to traditional push button designs that is completely sealed and will not wear with time.

The LIS331DL, belonging to the “nano” family of ST motion sensors, is the smallest consumer lowpower three axes linear accelerometer.
