Atmel’s full-featured family of ATtiny 10/20/40 devices has the industry’s best-in-class power consumption and touch sensing performance, such as sensitivity, proximity sensing range and noise immunity. Based on Atmel’s patented charge transfer technology, these products are based on a high-performance AVR MCU with a RISC controller architecture and optimized touch circuitry to make it an excellent solution for cost-sensitive integration. The ATtiny 10/20/40 devices are supported by Atmel’s QTouch® Library to enable our designers to include touch capabilities in applications with a touch button, wheel or slider interface.
Designers in the consumer electronics and industrial markets increasingly to demand low-cost microcontrollers that support touch functionality, said Jon Kiachian, sr. director of touch products, Atmel Corporation. Atmel’s tinyAVR® families address these demands without compromising performance, integration or functionality. More applications are moving from mechanical buttons to touch-sensitive buttons, sliders and wheels.
