Touch on Metal Buttons With Integrated Haptic Feedback Reference Design

TIDA-00314

Design files

Overview

This reference design uses our inductance-to-digital converter technology to provide a high-precision method to sense button presses on a metal surface and our haptic drivers provide high-quality haptics feedback to the user. TIDA-00314 demonstrates techniques for system design, environmental compensation and electromagnetic interference protection.

Watch the TIDA-00314 overview video on the touch-on-metal buttons with integrated haptic feedback.

Features
  • Replaces mechanical buttons with high-resolution inductive-sensing based touch-on-metal detection
  • Customizable haptic feedback and waveforms provide a high quality user experience
  • Programmable force touch button sensitivity (from light touch to hard press)
  • One continuous sheet of metal sealed and grounded against electromagnetic interference (EMI), water, oil, dirt and other contaminants
  • Works with gloves, underwater (if sealed) and in harsh environments
  • Can be used for pressure and multi-step button press sequences
  • Three button options omplemented:
    20-mm button
    3 mm x 10 mm (two buttons)
    3-mm button
  • Alternative button configurations can be implemented with different mechanical designs
