Texas Instruments MSP430FR267x CapTIvate Mixed Signal Microcontrollers (MCUs) are an ultra-low-power MSP430™ microcontroller for capacitive touch sensing for buttons, slides, wheel and proximity applications. MSP430 MCUs with CapTIvate technology provide the most integrated and autonomous capacitive-touch solution in the market with high reliability and noise immunity at the lowest power. TI’s capacitive touch technology supports concurrent self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance electrodes on the same design for maximum flexibility. MSP430 MCUs with CapTIvate technology operate through thick glass, plastic enclosures, metal, and wood with operation in harsh environments including wet, greasy, and dirty environments.
The TI MSP430 family of low-power microcontrollers consists of devices with different sets of peripherals targeted for various applications. The architecture, combined with extensive low-power modes, is optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement applications. The MCU features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that contribute to maximum code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows the MCU to wake up from low-power modes to active mode in less than 10µs (typical).
