Capacitive Touch Remote Control Reference Design With CapTIvate™ Technology

Description

The touch remote control enabled with CapTIvate™ technology demonstrates a capacitive-touch solution based on a single MSP430™ microcontroller (MCU) with CapTIvate technology. This design uses self- and mutual-capacitance technology to enable a multifunctional: capacitive-touch panel (buttons: slider: gesture pad: grip sensor and proximity sensor) for smart TV: settop box: and sound system remote applications for future application extensions with various communication interfaces available. The design allows operators to extend the battery life by the low-power active and standby modes.

Features
  • CapTIvate Capacitive Touch Functions with Eight-Touch Buttons: One Touch Slider for Volume Control: One Gesture Pad for Slide and Tap Gestures and One Proximity Sensor for Grip DetectionTwo LEDs to Indicate Power Status and Touch OperationWake-On Grip Detection With Ultra-Low-Power Standby ModePC GUI for Demonstration of Remote Control CapabilitiesBluetooth® Connectivity to PC Through Bluetooth EVM CC2650EM-7ID as well as other I2C and UART Communication Interface
