Mouser is the first to offer Texas Instruments LDC2114 evaluation module

Designed for inductive touch sensing, the LDC2114 evaluation module (EVM) for the LDC2112 and LDC2114 inductive touch solutions from Texas Instruments, is available from distributor, Mouser. It is the first distributor to offer the module which demonstrates the use of inductive sensing to detect and measure the presence of conductive objects to implement inductive touch buttons. The LDC2114EVM features the LDC2114, a multi-channel, low-noise inductance-to-digital converter optimised for inductive touch applications on monolithic surfaces.
