The devices offer IEC-certified solutions with five times lower power consumption than competition and support proximity sensing as well as touch through glass, plastic, and metal overlays.
TI capacitive touch sensing MSP430 MCUs are supported by an extensive hardware and software ecosystem with reference designs and code examples to get your design started quickly. The BOOSTXL-CAPKEYPAD BoosterPack plug-in module can be used with the CAPTIVATE-PGMR programmer board (standalone or as part of the MSP-CAPT-FR2633 CapTIvate development kit) or with the LaunchPad development kit ecosystem.
TI also provides free software including the CapTIvate Design Center, where engineers can quickly develop applications with an easy-to-use GUI and MSP430Ware software, and comprehensive documentation with the CapTIvate technology guide.
