<p>An automatic backlight turns on before a user hits a key, but only in dark lighting conditions. A capacitive proximity sensor detects active handling of the device and the backlight itself is used as a light sensor. The circuit requires only a single additional capacitor and three free I/O pins to implement on typical microprocessor-based systems (such as remote controls). Because the system uses the current backlight LED as a sensor, devices can often be upgraded to include this feature without changing the existing packaging.</p> |
