Evaluation kit STMicroelectronics STM8/128-EV/TS

Detailed Description

The kit contains an STM8S touch sensing (TS) evaluation daughterboard (STM8Sxxx-TS1) in addition to the STM8/128-EVAL board.

The STM8S touch sensing evaluation daughterboard provides an evaluation platform for resistor-capacitor (RC) touch sensing technology for an implementation using 5 keys and one slider.The STM8S TS evaluation kit provides a software solution for transforming any 8-bit STM8 microcontroller (MCU) into a capacitive touchkey controller.

This solution enables designers, comfortable with the use of standard microcontrollers, to create higher-end “look and feel” user interfaces by replacing conventional electro-mechanical switches with touch sensing controls.

Designers can combine touch sensing functions with traditional MCU features (communication, LED control, beeper, LCD control, etc.). The touch sensing firmware library is part of the application firmware. Maturity, robustness, flexibility and performance make this solution simple to implement with a low “time to market” period making it easy to develop all types of applications including mobile phones, cooking appliances and printers only to name a few.

The STM8S TS evaluation kit comes pre-programmed with evaluation firmware that manages 5 touch keys and one slider all available on the touch sensing daughterboard. Using this kit, the user can easily evaluate the touch sensing software features and performances by monitoring sensing parameters using an LCD display interface.

In development mode, designers are able to debug, modify, adapt or integrate the touch sensing library in application firmware using a USB debugging and programming tools:

• Raisonance RLink debugger/programmer for ST microcontrollers
• STice in-circuit emulation system
• ST MCU Toolset with ST Visual Develop (STVD) IDE and ST Visual Programmer (STVP) programming interface

The STM8S2xx evaluation board STM8/128-EVAL is designed as a complete development platform for STMicroelectronic's STM8 core-
based STM8S2xx microcontroller with CAN2.0A/B compliant interface, I2C, SPI, two UART channels with smartcard, IrDA and LIN support, internal 2 Kbyte data Flash and 128 Kbyte code Flash, SWIM debugging support. The full range of hardware features on the board is able to help you evaluate all peripherals (including motor control, CAN, MicroSD card, smartcard, UART, LIN, IrDA) and develop your own applications. Extension headers make it possible to easily connect a daughter board or wrapping board for your specific application.
