The project presented here is an analog capacitive proximity sensor. The circuit is from Texas Instruments application note. Most conventional capacitive proximity sensors produce a “1” or “0” output, this circuit produces a DC output that is a function of the size and relative permittivity of an object passing between the sense capacitor plates. Different sized and density objects will produce a different output voltage. The oscillator input for this circuit is a 50Khz sine source. The low frequency and sine characteristics keep RFI problems at a minimum. This proximity detector may prove difficult to construct because of the small capacitances involved, parasitic capacitances in the sensor circuit, and noise pickup. The circuit requires an external 50Khz sinewave with 1Vpp Signal. The circuit operates with a dual 15V DC supply.
