Microchip mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit

Posted by Ken Cheung in EDA Tools on Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Microchip Technology introduced the mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit. The mTouch kit enables designers to quickly and easily develop capacitive touch user-interface applications using Microchip’s 8- and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs). The mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit (part # DM183026) is available now for $84.95.

Microchip’s new MCU-based kit provides a one-chip, highly-integrated solution based upon either the PIC16F72X 8-bit or the PIC24FGB 16-bit general-purpose MCUs, providing a flexible evaluation platform that lowers costs and shortens time to market. The modular kit makes it easy for designers to try different keypad configurations, and experiment with touch-pad sizes and shapes using the mother boards.
