Working Principles

The AD7156BCPZ-REEL7 utilizes the principle of capacitive sensing to measure changes in capacitance. It employs an internal oscillator to generate an AC signal, which is applied to the capacitive sensing inputs. The change in capacitance caused by external stimuli, such as touch or proximity, alters the frequency of the oscillator. This frequency change is then converted into a digital value using the integrated ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter).
