mXT640U 1.1
maXTouch 640-node Touchscreen Controller
Product Brief
Description
The mXT640U uses a unique charge-transfer acquisition engine to implement Microchip’s patented capacitive sensing method.
Coupled with a state-of-the-art CPU, the entire touchscreen sensing solution can measure, classify and track a number of
individual finger touches with a high degree of accuracy in the shortest response time. The mXT640U allows for both mutual and
self capacitance measurements, with the self capacitance measurements being used to augment the mutual capacitance
measurements to produce reliable touch information.
