The US company Microchip Technology Inc., headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, is a leading supplier of microcontrollers and analog semiconductors. Recently, Microchip announced the production of a turnkey projected capacitive touch controller (PCAP = Projected Capacitive Touch) for small touch surfaces. The MTCH6102, which is still in production, is designed to make it easier for designers to create cost-effective applications for modern touches and touch surfaces. With the MTCH6102 it will be possible to deliver flexible, scalable solutions that support PCB, ITO or FPC sensors with up to 15 channels.

Microchip is known for its very good technical support and provides its developers with an extensive firmware library, which allows additional optimizations and control options. As a result, the MTCH6102 family covers a wide range of applications in the electronic consumer sector (e.g. remote controls, game consoles, wearable products such as headphones, watches, fitness bracelets, track pads, etc.).

On the company's website you will find more information about the planned MTCH6102 touch controller, as well as detailed product information.
