Microchip Technology Offers New Capacitive Touch Demo Board; Simplifies Integration of Cap-Touch Interfaces Into 16-bit MCUs
Microchip Technology has announced an addition to its mTouch capacitive touch offerings, the PICDEM Touch Sense 2 Demo Board (Part # DM164128).
PICDEM Touch Sense 2 Board Features mTouch Sensing Solution Software and 16-bit PIC24FJ256GB110 MCU With Integrated Capacitive-Touch CTMU Peripheral
The easy-to-use board comes with the updated, royalty-free mTouch Sensing Solution Software Development Kit (SDK) and is populated with a 16-bit PIC24FJ256GB110 microcontroller (MCU), which features an integrated Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) peripheral for fast capacitive touch sensing.
The board and supporting materials provide a complete platform for implementing capacitive touch-sensing interfaces, without the need for external components. Additionally, with the PIC24FJ256GB110 family’s rich peripheral integration and 256 Kbytes of Flash memory, and Microchip’s broad portfolio of free and low-cost software libraries, embedded designers can use a single MCU to cost effectively implement a wide variety of additional user-interface functions, including QVGA touch-screen displays, speech-based audio prompts and USB connectivity.
