Note:
  1. Maximum capacitive load that the PTC circuitry can compensate for each channel.
  2. Analog Gain is a parameter of the Touch Library. Refer to the Touch Library Peripheral Touch Controller User Guide on the Microchip website.
  3. AVDD = 3.3V, DFLL48M as main clock source, running undivided at 48 MHz.

    CPU is running on Flash with 2 wait states, at 48 MHz.

    PTC running at 4 MHz.

    Mutual-Capacitance mode.

    One touch channel.

    Standby Sleep mode enabled.

    RTC running on ULP32K: used to define the PTC scan rate, through the event system.

    RTC interrupts (wake up) the CPU to perform PTC scans.
