TIBOOSTXL-CAPKEYPAD
Overview
The BOOSTXL-CAPKEYPAD is a BoosterPack plug-in module designed to demonstrate the CapTIvate capacitive touch technology on the MSP430FR2522 microcontroller. It features a 12-key numeric keypad with integrated back-lighting and proximity sensing for low-power wake-up functionality. The board provides a standardized 40-pin interface to connect with MSP430 LaunchPad development kits.
Why Choose This Part
The CapTIvate technology on the MSP430FR2522 offers high noise immunity and supports operation through thick overlays or moisture. It includes integrated LED back-lighting for the keypad and allows for ultra-low-power proximity sensing to extend battery life in portable applications.
