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.

Biography:
Mr. Semanson is working with both electrical systems applications for general purpose, and more recently functional safety systems for automotive power management circuits (PMICS). He previously worked his day job at Ford Motor Company, doing Powertrain Controls, Systems Engineering, and Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) Features. He was instrumental in helping Professor Mark Steffka establish a well-known EMC lab course at the University of Michigan at Dearborn.
