Touch Technology from Microchip
Touch sensing has become an alternative to traditional
push button switch user interfaces, because it requires
no mechanical movement, and it enables a completely
sealed and modern-looking design.
mTouch™ Sensing Solution and Methodology
Microchip’s mTouch Sensing Solutions provide an
easy method for designers to add touch sensing to
applications utilizing PIC®microcontrollers without the
cost of fee-based licensing and royalty agreements.
This reduces total system cost compared with current
solutions. Microchip offers both capacitive and
inductive touch sensing options.
nanoWatt XLP™ Technology
Microchip’s nanoWatt Technology allows users to
manage all of the components of power in a system,
including static, active and average power consumption.
Benefi ts of nanoWatt XLP Technology include:

Capacitive Touch or Inductive Touch
By offering Capacitive and Inductive Sensing solutions,
Microchip gives designers more flexibility to choose the
right touch technology for their application. The table
below can help you decide between Capacitive and
Inductive Touch based on your application requirements.

Capacitive Touch Sensing
The introduction of the user’s fi nger approaching or touching
the sensor, just a copper pad on the PCB, creates a change in
capacitance which is detected by the system.
Inductive Touch Sensing
When the user presses the key or front panel, it defl ects slightly.
This defl ection, on the order of microns, is inductively detected.
The main advantages are:

Inductive touch technology is available to customers free
of charge under a license agreement permitting use and
implementation of the technology on any PIC microcontroller or
dsPIC® digital signal controller.
MCU Requirements for Inductive Touch Sensing
Microchip enables designers to integrate inductive touch-sensing
functionality with their existing application code in a single
standard 8-, 16- or 32-bit PIC MCU or 16-bit dsPIC DSC, thus
reducing total system costs. The only peripherals needed are a
PWM and an A/D converter.
The front panel can be metal or plastic
The keys are unaffected by water droplets or liquids
It can sense through thick gloves
It is Braille friendly
It can differentiate a soft touch from a hard touch

application from the small
and cost-effective 6-pin
PIC10F to the peripheral
rich 8-bit and 16-bit
microcontroller families.
