Capacitive touch detection is sometimes considered more art than science. This often results in multiple design iterations before the optimum performance is achieved. There are, however, good design practices for circuit layout and principles of materials that need to be understood to keep the number of iterations to a minimum. This design guide describes a process for creating and designing capac

This application report discusses how to design a simple and ultra low-power grip detector BoosterPack for the MSP430 LaunchPadв„ў. The PINOSC feature in every msp430G2xx2 and msp430G2xx3 device makes it possible to eliminate all the external components when implementing a capacitive touch design. All the components used in the grip detector, such as capacitive sensors, LEDs are all integrate
