CAPSENSE™ Technology Delivers Leading Performance
Suitable for complex touch HMI interfaces, the PSoC™ 4100S Max with 5th generation CAPSENSE™ MSC (Multi-Sense Converter) block provides the following improvements over previous generation capacitive sensing blocks:
- Improved SNR based on the all new ratio-metric analog architecture and advanced hardware filtering to enable modern sleek user interface solutions with superior liquid tolerance, and robust and reliable touch HMI solution for harsh environments.
- Higher sensitivity to support smaller sensors, higher proximity detection range, and a much wider range of overlay thicknesses and materials.
- Autonomous channel sequencing (that is, CPU independent) and scanning for low power optimization.
- Improved shield drive method and support for wide range of shield electrode capacitance values for superior liquid tolerance.
- Higher sensor capacitance range to support easier layout and wider variety of sensors.
- Improved EMI performance
- The MSC block API is backwards compatible with the CSD block to preserve code compatibility. A driver is provided for the CAPSENSE™ block to make it very easy for the user to use. Shield drive for water tolerance is provided.
- The CAPSENSE™ blocks provide both self and mutual capacitance sensing. Shield drive can be either Active (with an Op Amp) or passive (less power, for shield loads less than 20 pF).
