Ultra low-power FRAM-based microcontrollers feature CapTIvate touch technology

Featuring CapTIvate touch technology, Texas Instruments' MSP430FR263x / MSP430FR253x ultra low-power FRAM-based microcontrollers are now stocked by Mouser. Designed for buttons, sliders, wheels (BSW), and proximity applications, the devices offer CapTIvate technology which provides the highest resolution capacitive-touch solution in the market with high reliability and noise immunity at the lowest power. CapTIvate technology supports concurrent self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance electrodes on the same design for maximum flexibility. Using the CapTIvate Design Center, engineers can quickly develop BSW applications with an easy-to-use GUI, says the company.
