Webinar Introduction

The functional characteristics of Capacitive mTouch Sensing Solution along with basic touch sensor construction will be reviewed in the first half of this web seminar. The primary focus here is to provide some basic design guidelines relating to touch sensor pad size, placement, cover plate material selection and mounting recommendations. In the second half, there will be an overview of the fundamental components of an Inductive mTouch system. It will also introduce the inductive touch sensor detailing both construction and operational characteristics. Inductive touch sensing technologies can make up for some deficiencies of capacitive touch sensing solution. For instance, there can be more choices of panel material, the keys are unaffected by water droplet, humidity or liquids; and the technology can sense through thick gloves.



Company Introduction

Microchip Technology Inc. is a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, serving over 63,000 customers in more than 65 countries who are designing high-volume embedded control applications in the consumer, automotive, office-automation, communications and industrial-control markets worldwide.
