Controllers speed development of capacitive sensing applications

Providing the fastest, easiest way to add low-power capacitive touch interfaces to embedded designs, Silicon Labs has introduced the TouchXpress family of fixed-function controllers. The robust CPT007B and CPT112S TouchXpress controllers eliminate time-consuming firmware development, providing a simple turnkey solution for adding sleek, touch-based user interface designs to a wide range of products including home appliances, white goods, consumer electronics, lighting control, medical equipment and instrument/control panels, says the company. TouchXpress evaluation boards and advanced configuration and profiling software tools available within the Silicon Labs’ Simplicity Studio environment enable embedded developers to get their capacitive touch applications up and running quickly and easily.
