According to Cypress Semiconductor, the CY8C20xx6A devices replace mechanical buttons and sliders, offering functional interface options for designers. The new devices also enable touch-sensing operation in applications such as white goods, home appliances, printers, computers and TVs/monitors.
Additionally, the CY8C20xx6A family offers the new SmartSense solution, which automatically calibrates capacitive-sensing parameters during the design process.
The CY8C20xx6A devices have up to 36 general-purpose I/Os (GPIOs) to implement multiple CapSense interfaces. Leveraging the PSoC programmable system-on-chip architecture, a single new CapSense device can also manage functions such as motor control, intelligent sensing, LED control and more - a capability called CapSense Plus. Additionally, the new devices include a USB interface. The CapSense devices allow customers to bring products to market quickly. The CY8C20xx6A device line is available in multiple configurations and packages, including a small form factor 3x3x0.6-mm 16-pin QFN.
The new CY8C20xx6A CapSense devices are supported by the CY3280-20X66 CapSense Development Kit, which includes a development board with ports for the following Plug-in Modules:
-CY3280-SLM - Linear Slider Module
-CY3280-SRM - Radial Slider Module
-CY3280-TPM - Trackpad Module
-CY3280-BSM - Simple Button Module
-CY3280-BMM - Matrixed Button Module
-CY3280-BBM - Breadboard Module.
Each package option of the new low-power devices is also supported by a CY3250-20xx6 ICE Pod Kit that includes emulator pods and feet, enabling a designer to perform system-level debugging.
