Core-independent touch dsPIC33 DSCs offer leading-edge capacitive touch sensing performance with robustness, water and moisture rejection, immunity for conducted noise, functional safety readiness (ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and IEC 60730) and security.
We offer the ISO26262 Functional Safety Touch packages for Core-Independent Touch DSCs to enable you to develop automotive safety-compliant touch applications. Below are the highlights of the ISO26262 Functional Safety Touch packages*.
* Functional Safety packages for diagnostics for the dsPIC33C DSCs must be purchased separately.
Touch Features of dsPIC33 DSCs
Target Use Cases
Leverage our MCC Touch Library to integrate touch features and address a variety of use cases, including:
Our sophisticated and user-friendly touch ecosystem covers all Microchip MCUs to bring your touch design from a concept to a final product quickly and smoothly. Complete your touch design in a few simple steps:
The touch ecosystem and library APIs remain the same across device families, including PIC®, AVR® and SAM MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, to seamlessly migrate based on system requirements.
Note: Touch library for dsPIC33A will be rolling out soon in MCC. Contact us to get early access
This fully featured development and demonstration board enables you to explore the capabilities of the Integrated Touch Controller (ITC) peripheral on the dsPIC33A DSCs. The board operation requires the insertion of a 120-pin general-purpose Dual, In-Line Module (DIM) that includes a dsPIC33A DSC.
This board has touch buttons, CAN/CAN FD driver and two Xplained Pro headers to interface touch extension boards.
This board simplifies the evaluation of capacitive touch using core independent touch DSCs. This board has an on-board touch buttons, CAN/CAN FD, LIN transceivers and two Xplained Pro connectors to interface touch extension boards.
This simple board can help you quickly prototype your touch application with the Curiosity Nano Touch Adapter and touch extension boards.
The Curiosity Nano Touch Adapter is a hardware extension platform to simplify the connection between Curiosity Nano MCU evaluation boards and Xplained Pro touch extension boards.
This extension board evaluates the water and noise robustness of self-capacitance touch using driven shield or Driven Shield+ technology.
This extension board easily evaluates the 2D touch surface library by demonstrating water tolerance and noise immunity on a touchpad.
This extension board demonstrates Metal over Cap (MoC) touch. The board connects via an XPRO connector to the compatible dsPIC33CK Touch-CAN-LIN Curiosity Board or dsPIC33CK Curiosity Nano Board using the Curiosity Nano Touch Adapter.
The board connects compatible development boards with Xplained Pro connectors and touch extension boards to enable the emulation of pin fault conditions in functional safety-relevant projects.
