New robust, noise-immune capacitive-sensing MCUs for cost-sensitive touch control

Texas Instruments' MSP430 microcontrollers with CapTIvate technology can offer value and performance to applications exposed to electromagnetic disturbances, oil, water and grease. The device brings capacitive-sensing capabilities to cost-sensitive applications, Developers can use the new MSP430FR2512 and MSP430FR2522 MCUs with integrated capacitive touch to add as many as 16 buttons as well as proximity sensing capability to industrial systems, home automation systems, appliances, power tools, home entertainment, personal audio applications and more.
