CAP1296 Datasheet 6-Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor

Manufacturer: Microchip Technology

General Description

The CAP1296 is a multiple channel capacitive touch sensor controller.

It contains six (6) individual capacitive touch sensor inputs with programmable sensitivity for use in touch sensor applications.

Each sensor input is calibrated to compensate for system parasitic capacitance and automatically recalibrated to compensate for gradual environmental changes.

Overview

CAP1296 6-Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor with Proximity Detection & Signal Guard.
