Testmuster bei Sinus - Semtech SX8649
(24.05.2010)

Ultra Low Power, Capacitive Button and Wheel Touch Controller (8 sensors) with Enhanced LED Drivers
The SX8649 is an ultra low power, fully integrated 8-channel solution for capacitive touch-buttons and wheel applications. Unlike many capacitive touch solutions, the SX8649 features dedicated capacitive sense inputs (that requires no external components) in addition to 8 general purpose I/O ports (GPIO).
