Ohmite’s FSP Series (Force Sensing Potentiometers) are high-feature-set, cost-effective touch sensors enabling intuitive control and navigation. FSPs are “single touch” devices that simultaneously report both touch position and variable force. They are easy to integrate, high resolution, low-power, and ideal for a wide range of HMI/MMI applications.
Interfacing is simple via a host processor without the need for a dedicated MCU. FSPs are dynamically reconfigurable in firmware enabling multiple functions from a single sensor.
Force sensing potentiometers offer many benefits for HMI sensing in a wide range of markets and applications versus mechanical switching or capacitive sensing. These include but are not limited to:
- “Single touch” devices that simultaneously report both touch position and variable force
- Cost-effective touch sensors enabling intuitive control and navigation
- Dynamically reconfigurable in firmware enabling multiple functions from a single sensor
- For use in advanced HMI and MMI applications
- Through-mode sensor construction
- Small, thin, and light
- Largely immune to EMI and water events
- Low power
- False touch rejection
- Cost-effective
- Highly durable (>10M activations typical)
