Capacitive touch remote control reference design using CapTIvate technology

Touch Remote Powered by CapTIvate™ Technology demonstrates a capacitive touch solution using a single MSP430™ microcontroller (MCU) with CapTIvate technology. This design uses self- and mutual-capacitance technology to enable multifunctional capacitive touch panels (buttons, sliders, gesture pads, grip sensors, and proximity sensors) for smart TVs, set-top boxes, and remote applications in sound systems in the future. Application expansion with various available communication interfaces. This design allows operators to extend battery life through low-power active and standby modes.
