MCHPCAP1206-1-AIA-TR
Overview
The CAP1206-1-AIA-TR is a 6-channel capacitive touch sensor controller designed to add touch sensitivity to human-machine interfaces. It features specialized signal processing to filter out system noise and EMI, ensuring reliable touch detection in challenging environments. The device operates over a wide voltage range of 3V to 5.5V and includes a deep sleep mode consuming only 5 microamps.
Why Choose This Part
This controller simplifies design by providing automatic recalibration and digital EMI blocking to handle environmental fluctuations and parasitic capacitance. It reduces software overhead by performing all touch logic on-chip, including individual thresholding for each of the six channels.
Applications
Getting Started
To evaluate this sensor, use the CAP1206 Evaluation Board and connect it to a host microcontroller via the I2C interface. Developers should use the Microchip CAP1206 Linux driver or the available C-based firmware libraries to configure the sensitivity and sampling rates for each channel.
