PRODUCTION DATA.
The LDC1001-Q1 device is an inductance-to-digital converter that simultaneously measures the impedance and resonant frequency of an LC resonator. The device accomplishes this task by regulating the oscillation amplitude in a closed-loop configuration to a constant level, while monitoring the energy dissipated by the resonator. By monitoring the amount of power injected into the resonator, the LDC1001-Q1 device can determine the value of RP. When the value is determined, the device returns this as a digital value which is inversely proportional to RP. In addition, the LDC1001-Q1 device also measure the oscillation frequency of the LC circuit. This frequency is used to determine the inductance of the LC circuit. The device outputs a digital value that is inversely proportional to frequency.
The threshold detector block provides a comparator with hysteresis. With the threshold registers programed and comparator enabled, the proximity data register is compared with threshold registers and INTB pin indicates the output.
The device has a simple 4-wire SPI interface. The INTB pin provides multiple functions which are programmable with SPI.
The device has separate analog and I/O supplies. The analog supply operates at 5 V and the I/O operates at 1.8 to 5 V. The integrated LDO requires a 56-nF capacitor connected from the CLDO pin to GND.
