Touch-sensitive metal
30 August 2010
Microchip has declared that it has released the first and only technology in the industry to enable capacitive touch-sensing with a metal front panel.
Building upon the success of mTouch capacitive touch-sensing technology, the royalty-free, robust technology now works through metal, gloves, and on surfaces that contain liquids. It also enables Braille to be used on capacitive touch-sensing interfaces.
Designers can integrate mTouch capacitive touchsensing functionality with their existing application code in an 8bit, 16bit, or 32bit PIC microcontroller to reduce total system costs. It features an active current of less than 5 μA, and major applications include the industrial and automotive market, as well as other environments that require touch-sensitive inputs.
