➀ This reference design introduces an inductive sensing-based encoder knob that offers a contactless and robust interface for control inputs. It is designed to withstand harsh environments and does not rely on magnets. ➁ The design uses low-drift capacitive (LDC) technology for high-reliability position tracking and operates within a 2.7V to 3.6V power range. ➂ It is suitable for applications in automotive, appliance, and consumer electronics systems.
