MAS1641 Capacitance Change Detection with Piezo Alarm
The MAS1641 is a very low power single chip solution for a capacitance change detection and a piezo alarm. Typical applications include battery powered alarm systems detecting infusion liquid level drop or water leakage.
It can be configured to detect either capacitance reduction or increase over a threshold which is adjustable by external resistors. A very high sound pressure level (SPL) alarm is achieved by voltage boosting solution which is based on an inductor free, low EMI and high efficiency 3x charge pump. The output driver stage can drive up to 18Vpp intermittent alarm signal to the piezo just from a low 3V supply. It can operate from a low supply voltage down to 2.25V and it draws only a very low 36uA current when monitoring capacitance change. The MAS1641 is available in a small QFN-16 3x3x0.75 mm package.

MAS6502 Piezoresistive Sensor Signal Interface IC
MAS6502 is a 16 bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) designed for piezoresistive sensor modules. It’s designed especially to meet the requirement for low power consumption, thus making it an ideal choice for battery powered systems. Current consumption values of 2.3 µA (one pressure conversion in a second) or less can be achieved. The 256-bit EEPROM memory stores trimming and calibration coefficients on chip.
In addition to pressure measurement the device can be configured for temperature measurement using the external sensor bridge and the built-in sensor sampling switches. An advantage with this is that the temperature is measured directly on the bridge and not on the IC which means the IC doesn’t need to be placed directly beside the sensor bridge.
