27.0 CAPACITIVE SENSING (CPS)
MODULE
The Capacitive Sensing (CPS) module allows for an
interaction with an end user without a mechanical
interface. In a typical application, the CPS module is
attached to a pad on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB),
which is electrically isolated from the end user. When the
end user places their finger over the PCB pad, a
capacitive load is added, causing a frequency shift in the
capacitive sensing module. The CPS module requires
software and at least one timer resource to determine
the change in frequency. Key features of this module
include:
• Analog MUX for monitoring multiple inputs
• Capacitive sensing oscillator
• Multiple current ranges
• Multiple voltage reference modes
• Multiple timer resources
• Software control
• Operation during Sleep
