Overview

The MTCH6303-I/RG is a projected capacitive touch controller designed to handle multi-touch input for touchscreens. It supports up to 10 simultaneous touches and offers high-resolution coordinate output through I2C or Full-Speed USB interfaces. Operating from 2.3V to 3.6V, this 64-pin QFN device is optimized for low-power operation with a sleep current as low as 1 uA.

Why Choose This Part

This controller provides a high 27 mA full-scan rate for responsive tracking while maintaining ultra-low power consumption in idle states. The dual I2C and USB interface options simplify integration across both embedded microcontrollers and PC-based hosts.

Applications

Industrial HMI Panels
Providing robust multi-touch interfaces for rugged industrial control displays and human-machine interface systems.
Consumer Electronics
Integrating gesture-based navigation and touch controls into home appliances, thermostats, and smart home hubs.
USB Touch Peripherals
Creating plug-and-play HID-compliant touchscreens and external trackpads using the integrated Full-Speed USB peripheral.
Battery-Powered Handhelds
Leveraging low sleep current for portable devices that require responsive touch waking from standby.
