The 2D touch surface software library is ideal for implementing small touchpads and touch screens. It can be run on the device's existing MCU, so there is no additional cost. This eliminates the need for dedicated touch controllers and enables product designers to Flexibly adds finger position tracking and gesture detection capabilities to products such as sliding and zooming. The touch library is available through Microchip's code configurator, which includes MPLAB® Code Configurator (MCC) for PIC MCUs and for AVR and SAM MCU's Atmel START. Both software tools simplify graphic configuration and speed development with streamlined C code tailored to individual projects. The 2D touch surface software library is now available at Atmel START and will be available during the quarter. Launched on the MCC.
Intuitive and beautiful user interface is the key to product success. With the 2D touch surface software library, you can provide consumers with an interface experience comparable to that of a smartphone without integrating an expensive operating system. This software library is ideal for consumer electronics. , Various applications in the automotive and industrial fields add touch functionality, such as smart speakers, steering wheels or thermostats.
Fanie Dvenvenhage, vice president of Touch and Gestures, Microchip said: 'Capacitive touch has become mainstream, and we see a growing number of applications requiring low-power gesture touch interfaces. The 2D touch surface software library reduces the implementation of small touchpads and Touch screen difficulty and cost. '
The software library gives the touchpad inherent low power performance because the entire surface can be scanned at a deep sleep at a time. Reliability is a basic requirement for touch functionality that provides continuous response by eliminating the effects of water and noise. And functions to meet the needs of automotive and home appliance applications. The implemented solution should be able to work in a humid environment and withstand 10V conducted noise, in line with the requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 6100-4-6 test level 3.
development tools The DM080101 Water Resistance Touch Surface Development Kit makes it easy to evaluate 2D touch surface software libraries. The toolkit demonstrates the water resistance and noise immunity of the touchpad. It has two touch buttons, all controlled by the same MCU.
Delivery The 2D touch surface software library is available for free with any compatible MCU. The DM080101 water-resistant touch surface development kit is now available.
