Kapacitiv touch-teknologi til MSP430 controllere

Texas Instruments lancerer nu ultra low power touch-sense teknologi til firmaets 16-bit MSP430 microcontrollere (in english).

Texas Instruments (TI) has announced the ultra-low-power MSP430 16-bit microcontroller capacitive touch portfolio.

Building on TI's embedded processing expertise, the portfolio  introduces new hardware and free software solutions that gives developers easy-to-use, cost-effective options for microcontroller-based capacitive touch applications, while still benefitting from the battery-saving features of MSP430 devices.  

The royalty-free MSP430 capacitive touch library gives developers the option to add touch sense capabilities to any MSP430 microcontroller. The open source software library eliminates the need to develop complex touch sensing algorithms and supports various capacitive touch sensors, including buttons, sliders, wheels and proximity.


Although the software library supports all MSP430 devices, some include new peripherals optimized specifically for touch sense applications. The MSP430 Value Line G2xx2 and G2xx3 devices include capacitive touch IOs, which enable developers to interface directly with capacitive touch pads without external components.

Additionally, developers can look forward to upcoming MSP430F51x2 devices boasting Timer_D, a new high-resolution timer that enables high-precision touch sensing. Rounding out the portfolio are TI’s easy-to-use, low-cost kits, including the new Capacitive Touch BoosterPack, a plug-in for the MSP430 Value Line LaunchPad development tool, which allows for rapid evaluation and development of touch sensing applications.

Additionally, the new MSP430F5529 experimenter board gives developers a highly-integrated evaluation platform to use touch sense buttons with a wide range of peripherals and sensors.
