Abstract:
This presentation reviews basic and advanced capacitive sensing for a variety of consumer, industrial, and automotive applications. Examples include “single-pixel” buttons, sliders, touch screens, and “kilo-pixel” fingerprint readers. To enable this, advanced embedded capacitance-sensing technology handles signals from the pF range all the way to fractions of an aF. In this context, challenges and solutions for sensors, architectures, algorithms, and circuit technology are discussed.
Bio:
Hans received a Ph.D. for his contributions in the Analog Circuit domain from the Technical University of Aachen, Germany, in 1983. In ‘84 he joined the founding-team of the Institute for Microelectronics, Stuttgart, Germany, where he developed a number of mixed-signal ICs for audio, sensing, and control applications.
In ‘88 he joined IMP Inc. in San Jose, CA, where he focused on structured analog Design-Methodology and low-noise mixed-signal CMOS design, including the world’s lowest-noise CMOS Read-Channel IC.
He then served at Lattice Semiconductor as Director of Design, where he developed the “PAC” family of programmable analog products. And in 2004 he joined start-up GTronix as VP-Eng, focusing on microWatt analog signal-processing technology using floating-gate CMOS.
In 2009 Hans joined Cypress Semiconductor as Analog CTO, driving a new generation of embedded programmable analog subsystems and driving research in Cap-Sense, Touchscreen, and Fingerprint-sensing technology. Now a Sr. VP Fellow, he also manages the corporate Innovation Program. Hans has over 50 patents.
