Kit for inductive touch-sensing designs
15 January 2010
Microchip’s PICDEM Inductive Touch Development Kit is for inductive touch-sensing applications.
It is designed for applications using standard 8, 16 or 32bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs), or 16bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controller (DSCs).
The kit includes a fully-developed inductive-touch board, complete with embossed metal front panel, source code, schematics and a diagnostic software tool that enables designers to evaluate their application.
Inductive touch sensing’s fundamental operating principles enable it to work through a front panel, such as plastic, stainless steel or aluminium, providing a completely sealed user interface that works through gloves and on surfaces that contain liquids. Major applications for inductive touch-sensing user interfaces include those in the appliance market because of the possibility of a stainless-steel front panel; the industrial market because of the technology’s robustness; and the automotive market because of the technology’s sleek aesthetics and ability to reduce accidental touch triggers.
Adding to the mTouch sensing solutions for capacitive and analogue-resistive sensing, the PICDEM Inductive Touch Development Kit is one more tool to help designers differentiate their products in the marketplace.
