Capacitive Touch MCU with 16 touch IO (64 sensors), 16KB FRAM, 4KB SRAM, 19 IO, 10-bit ADC

The MSP430FR263x and

MSP430FR253x are ultra-low-power MSP430™ microcontrollers for capacitive touch sensing that feature

CapTIvate™

touch technology for buttons, sliders, wheels, 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.

TI capacitive touch sensing MSP430 MCUs are supported by an extensive

hardware and software ecosystem with reference designs and code examples to get your design started

quickly. Development kits include the MSP-CAPT-FR2633 CapTIvate technology development

kit. TI also provides free software including the

CapTIvate Design Center, where engineers

can quickly develop applications with an easy-to-use GUI and

MSP430Ware™ software and comprehensive

documentation with the CapTIvate Technology

Guide.

TI’s MSP430 ultra-low-power (ULP) FRAM microcontroller platform

combines uniquely embedded FRAM and a holistic ultra-low-power system architecture, allowing system

designers to increase performance while lowering energy consumption. FRAM technology combines the

low-energy fast writes, flexibility, and endurance of RAM with the nonvolatility of flash.
