</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="xs-mt3"> <p>The CAP1188 evaluation kit (DM160222) provides an easy platform for evaluating and developing a variety of capacitive touch sense applications using CAP11XX family. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows the user to analyze data and configure the capacitive touch controller as well as the LED drivers.&nbsp; A second connector allows engineer to connect their own board with CAP1XXX controller and communicate with the GUI. The CAP1188 evaluation board contains the largest, full- featured version of the CAP11xx family. The other devices in this family are the CAP1166, CAP1128, CAP1126, CAP1133, and CAP1106.</p> <p>The CAP1188 is a turnkey capacitive touch controller providing a wide variety of&nbsp; button and proximity functionality, and making it easy for designers to add aesthetically pleasing, low-cost and robust touch interfaces. The CAP1188 also contains 8 LED drivers that offer full-on / off, variable rate blinking, dimness controls, and breathing. Each of the LED drivers may be linked to one of the sensor inputs to be actuated when a touch is detected. As well, each LED driver may be individually controlled via a host controller.</p> <p><strong>Applications:</strong> Desktop and Notebook PCs, LCD Monitors, Consumer Electronics, Appliances</p> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>CAP1188 8 Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor with 8 LED Drivers <ul> <li>8 Capacitive Touch Sensor Inputs</li> <li>8 LED Driver Outputs</li> <li>Programmable sensitivity</li> <li>Automatic recalibration</li> <li>Individual thresholds for each button</li> <li>Proximity Detection</li> <li>Multiple Button Pattern Detection</li> <li>Analog Filtering for System Noise Sources</li> <li>Press and Hold feature for Volume-like Applications</li> <li>Low Power Operation</li> <li>I&sup2;C and SMBus Communication</li> </ul> </li> <li><span>USB power and communication</span></li> <li><span>Proximity sensing</span></li> <li><span>LEDs</span></li> </ul> <p></p> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul id="ctl00_ctl00_PageContent_SubPageContent_dtPackContent" class="prepend-top"> <li><span>CAP1188 Evaluation board</span></li> <li><span>USB cable</span></li> <li><span>CD with GUI and documentation</span></li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Application Note</h4> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/01325A.pdf" target="_blank">AN1325 - mTouch Metal Over Cap Technology (pdf)</a> </div> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/01492A.pdf" target="_blank">AN1492 - Microchip Capacitive Proximity Design Guide (pdf)</a> </div> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/an214.pdf" target="_blank">AN214_SMSC - CAP1188 Family LED Configuration Options (pdf)</a> </div> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/20005278A.pdf" target="_blank">AN 22.13 - CAP1188 Device Family Sampling and Cycle Timing (pdf)</a> </div> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00001626A.pdf" target="_blank">AN1626 - Implementing Metal Over Capacitive Touch Sensors (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Data Sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/00001620B.pdf" target="_blank">CAP1188 8 Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor with 8 LED Drivers Data Sheet (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Product Brief/Fact sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/00001599A.pdf" target="_blank">Touch and Input Sensing Brochure (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Quick Start Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50002219A.pdf" target="_blank">CAP1xxx Evaluation Board Quick Start Guide (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">User Manual/Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50002221A.pdf" target="_blank">CAP1xxx Evaluation Board User&#39;s Guide (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Design Package</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/CAP1xxx%20GUI%20and%20documentation.zip" target="_blank">CAP1xxx GUI and documentation (zip)</a> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: sensing, microchip, cap1188, capacitive_touch, analog_demo_boards</div>
