AC103003

The AC103003 is an evaluation board for mTouch Capacitive PIC10F MCU where it demonstrates the simple implementation of a single capacitive touch key or proximity sensor using a PIC10F204/6 MCU. It is a low cost, high performance, 8bit, fullystatic, flash based CMOS microcontroller. Touch sensing has become an alternative to traditional push button switch user interfaces, because it requires no mechanical movement, and it enables a completely sealed and modern looking design. The introduction of the user's finger approaching or touching the sensor, just a copper pad on the PCB, creates a change in capacitance which is detected by the system. Capacitive mTouch Solution offers a number of PIC MCUs to suit the demands of any application from the small and cost effective 6 pin PIC10F to the peripheral rich 8bit and 16bit microcontroller families.

• One capacitive touch key can on/off, open/close button or other single action user interface
• A proximity sensor in one capacitive touch key detect a hand coming close to the sensor
• Enable lower standby power consumption
• Trigger an action, like a lighted display, without a touch
