Microchip Technology Inc.’s MCP2036 Analog Front End (AFE) for inductive touch-sensing applications, complimenting the company's royalty-free mTouch Inductive Touch-Sensing Solutions, works with almost any 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit PIC microcontroller (MCU) or dsPIC Digital Signal Controller (DSC) to make it easier and more cost effective for designers to enhance user interfaces with inductive touch-sensing technology.
This inductive-touch AFE includes a multiplexer, a frequency mixer, an amplifier, a driver, and a voltage reference, which drastically lowers component count, and reduces design size and cost. Additionally, the AFE can be easily configured for a variety of applications in the appliance, industrial and automotive markets, among others.
