Cypress Semiconductor Corp announced a free online seminar that looks at the benefits gained from adding a capacitive sensing interface to an actual system design. The 60-minute webinar entitled "Using Capacitive Sensing to Solve Real-World Design Problems" will be presented in conjunction with Electronic Engineering Times on Wednesday, March 26 at 9:00 a.m. PDT.
The presenters will give a detailed analysis of the design of an ice-hockey skate blade from Therma Blade, Inc., which uses heat to reduce friction between the blade and the ice surface.
Cypress's PSoC® CapSense™ solution allows the heat to be turned on and off using touch sensitive controls. The seminar will show how capacitive sensing solves the challenges of designing a switch that is water-resistant, durable, low-power, reliable, low-cost and can be easily assembled for high volume production.

"This webinar gives designers a real-world example of how to address common design problems with flexible, programmable solutions," said Babak Hedayati, senior vice president of Marketing and Applications for Cypress. "Cypress has carved out a leadership position in touch sensing based on our ability to help customers such as Therma Blade meet their design objectives."
