  • One pin per electrode – no external components
  • Load compensating charge sensing
    • Parasitic capacitance compensation and adjustable gain for superior sensitivity
  • Zero drift over the temperature and VDD range
    • Auto calibration and re-calibration of sensors
  • Single-shot and free-running charge measurement
  • Hardware noise filtering and noise signal de-synchronization for high conducted immunity
  • Selectable channel change delay
    • Allows choosing the settling time on a new channel, as required
  • Acquisition-start triggered by command or through auto-triggering feature
  • Low CPU utilization through interrupt on acquisition-complete
    • 5% CPU utilization scanning 10 channels at 50ms scan rate
