Introduction

The MTCH1060 Evaluation Kit is a self-contained hardware platform designed to evaluate the MTCH1060 Capacitive Touch Controller, the largest of the MTCH10XX turnkey touch controller family. These devices offer robust (water and noise-tolerant) touch implementations while being controlled only by GPIOs. The MTCH10XX family controls up to six capacitive sensors with Driven Shield+ capability, ranging from the MTCH1010 (with one sensor channel) to the MTCH1030 (up to three) to the MTCH1060 (up to six).

The MTCH1060 Evaluation Kit incorporates six touch sensor electrodes with Driven Shield+ to evaluate the MTCH1060’s robust noise performance and moisture tolerance. In addition, the MTCH1060 Evaluation Kit offers options to connect external touch electrodes, allowing the user to prototype applications with the MTCH1060 touch controller. Users can also evaluate the performance of their touch control applications in different configurations by enabling and/or changing various parameters, such as:

  • Sensitivity
  • Response time (Measurement Period)
  • Oversampling
  • Easy Tune
  • Singe Button Mode
  • Disabling sensors
  • Visual Touch Tuning
