Infineon — PSOC™ 4000T Multi-Sense Microcontrollers (MCUs)

Features

• 32-bit MCU subsystem
  • 48-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0+ CPU with single-cycle multiply
  • Up to 64 KB of flash with read accelerator.
  • Up to 8 KB of SRAM
• 5th generation CAPSENSE™ technology; supports self-capacitive, mutual-capacitive, and inductive sensing technologies
• 16 sensor inputs
  • Up to 16 self-capacitive inputs
  • Up to 64 mutual-capacitive inputs
• Up to 21 Programmable pins
• Two 16 bit-time/counter/pulse-width modulator (TCPWW) blocks
• Two configurable serial communication blocks (SCBs) to support I2C, SPI or UART interface.
• Superior user experience: Proximity, Touch, Slider, Force-touch, Finger-tracking.
• Best-in-class signal-to-noise ratio
• Operating Voltage: 1.71V to 5.5V
• Always-On mode at 6 µA through “Always-on” sensing
• Active touch detection and tracking at 200 µA (average)
• Easily optimize the capacitive sensing design through Infineon-supplied middleware software.
• Includes board support packages (BSPs), peripheral driver library (PDL), and middleware such as CAPSENSE™

Benefits

• 5th Gen CAPSENSE™:
  • Better noise immunity, thicker cover-lens, small form factor, improved proximity sensing and direction sensing
  • Greater flexibility in PCB routing, supports larger and miniature sensors, different materials
  • Low power in standby and active modes, longer battery life
  • Improved touch response faster than most displays for a smooth experience
  • Free up CPU to perform faster control loops or other peripheral operations, lower power

Applications

• Wearables
• Hearables
• Smart connected IoT devices

Software/Support/Tools

Infineon’s ModusToolbox™ Tools Package includes desktop applications that enable the creation of new embedded projects, managing software resources, configuring device peripherals and middleware, and multiple IDE options for compiling, programming, and debugging. Windows, Linux & MacOS are supported.

These ModusToolbox™ applications utilize an extensive collection of GitHub-hosted repositories comprised of code examples, board support packages, and middleware from Infineon and partners. Middleware libraries include CAPSENSE™ HMI, connectivity, machine learning, graphics, security, and more.

Thanks to the ModusToolbox platform, CAPSENSE applications are easily portable from one PSOC™ controller to another, allowing HMI application scalability across broad families of product designs.
