Overview

The EVK2160A allows the user to evaluate all functions of the QT2160 touch sense controller. The kit provides a convenient reference design and allows the user to visualize discrete touch buttons or a touch slider LED control. The EVK2160A works stand-alone but can also be connected to a PC. The device comes fully assembled, tested and documented.

The EVK2160A can be connected to a PC using the 9206 USB Plug-in card. The EVK2160A software can be used to configure a number of device parameters and evaluate the operation of the device.
