mXT799T-AT/mXT799T-AB 1.0
maXTouch 798-node Touchscreen Controller
Product Brief
Description
The mXT799T-AT/mXT799T-AB 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 mXT799T-AT/
mXT799T-AB 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.
